Even though he would call me by my older (non-artistic) sister, he was my favorite. I have always loved art but he made me love it more. Thanks for sharing him for all those years at Eastside. Never will forget the wet paper towel to control the thermostat of the classroom. Never will forget his soft voice and passion!

Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss your father/grandfather. Mr. K was a sweet, caring, funny and engaging presence in the halls of Eastside High School, where I attended in the 80’s. His warm smile was ever-present for any child entering the realm of his art room. (Even an ungifted artist such as myself). He will be greatly missed. I hope that you take comfort knowing that his impact was so widely felt at EHS.

It is written in the Scriptures that there is a friend who is closer than a brother. Though I spoke with Richard only briefly in this life, he had all the marking of Christ. He bore in his speech and demeanor the Christ-likeness that is missing in so many today. May the Lord Himself now lay upon His good servant the Crown of Life which He has set apart for those that LOVE Him.
