I met Richard many years ago. I'm a friend of Scott's and Rich was very kind to me as I recall. I met his brother, wife and mom too -- all were so very nice to me. I'm sorry for the Metzger's family loss. Please accept this belated condolence -- my timing has always been bad.

I will always miss your kindness when you greeted me at school. You were a pleasure to talk with anytime. Rest in peace Richard.
