Better late than never, I worked indirectly with Richard when I was a Quality Specialist and he worked in Inspections at the VMT. I performed a quality assurance assessment on the Inspection group and Richard was selected to help me find documents. He was so good to work with, professional, knowledgeable, and quite pleasant. Richard, rest in peace.
