Richard you were by far the best stand up comedian I've ever seen both live and on TV. I was fortunate enough to see you a whole bunch of times and you're act was always new and current. The news of your passing saddened me greatly. I'm sorry you suffered and I hope you're at peace. We lost an American treasure. farewell friend.

Nobody has ever made me laugh the way Richard could. He was a comedic genius and I will miss his originality and writing skills. Rest in Peace, Richard, I hope you keep them laughing wherever you go, I know I will be every time I hear your standup routines.
To his family, please accept my sincere condolences, I'm sorry he suffered from all those ailments, but I'm amazed he could write such incredible material in spite of it. Such is the nature of Genius, I suppose.
Thank you Richard, you were, nay, are amazing. Rest Peacefully.
You are an inspiration and a hero to me Richard. You are deeply missed.
