Very sad news.  I never knew him, but I am sorry for you loss, and the loss to the archery community.

Nicely stated Mike, may Richard rest in peace.

Mike, what a wonderful tribute to your friend. When I was a kid, 57 sounded pretty old, but it’s sounding pretty young to me these days.

May Richard live on through the impact he left in friends and family.

The Memorial Service/Celebration of Life for Richard today was well attended. There were over 200 people for the actual service and another 200+ that came earlier and paid the respects. There were 40 plus signed arrows left for him and several folks plan to get an arrow to the family at a later date. The sanctuary at church was decorated the way Richard would have wanted and we are leaving it that way for Sunday morning service. I want to thank everyone for the prayers and condolences. A bunch of fine folks here on the "Gang"!

I just did a search on flatstick's posts to reflect....I encourage everyone to do the same....You will see what a great bowhunter Richard was without coming across as having a big ego about his successes...Also, I would say the majority of his posts are congratulating and complimenting others....I never met Richard personally but can tell he was a great person from his TG posts.....
LONG LIVE THE LONGBOW!

  I didn't know him well but I met him several times. I remember him as one of those people who smiled with their eyes. I could tell just from talking to him that he was the real deal; a fine gentleman, a good family man and an exceptionally gifted bowhunter. May he rest in peace.
