Richard will be missed by many people. A fabulous man who I feel privileged to have known for such a long time. He was engaging, amusing and fun to hang out with. A man of great integrity who had a healthy love of good Californian wine which he was always happy to share! Lesley and I send our deepest condolences and love to all the Whitehead family.

Karen,
I learned last night after reading the paper about Richards passing. Funny for whatever reason I thought of him just the other day and wondered where he was and what he was doing. It reinforces the saying that life is short and that we need to reach out to people sooner vs. later. I had the privilege of working with Richard many years ago. He was always a man of integrity and put his clients first. He lead by example and I have very fond memories of the time we worked together.
He will be missed by many and you know that better than anyone.
Ron and Laura Clancy says
So sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers for you and your family.

Karen,
My father would be the first to call you if he was here. He thought the world of you and Richard. On behalf of both my parents and myself, please accept our condolences for your loss. May your memories of the good times with Richard comfort you and your family in the days and months ahead.
