RIP Rich, you were a great friend to me, a great blessing to mankind.

This is such SAD news. I have known Rich from sometime in the late 70's or early 80's from our runs at Quaker City. He was a very special guy. I don't think I ever saw him without a smile on his face and a kind word to say.

Rest In Peace Rich, you will be missed.....

My thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Feldman's family. Absolutely one of my favorite cars since I was younger. Always like seeing it in the staging lanes as well as winding the gears down the track. Very nice man, truly a huge loss to the stick racers and the racing community. I hope someone can continue his passion and field his car. RIP

The descriptions by Rick, Jeff, Ron and Gary are what Richard always was to me, a true gentleman with a great sense of humor who enjoyed life, people and racing. It was a honor to have known a man of his character over the decades. My condolences to his family and friends.

It was always my pleasure when I got to tech Richard's 66 Chevy at the races. He was such a gentleman. Sometimes he would stop by the tech trailer when he saw I was not busy and we would talk about big body Chevies. I am glad Rick Brown told us about another side of Richard's life that I never knew.

I must tell about the time Richard's Chevy was out of commission and he showed up for tech at the Quaker City points meet to get a grading point. This was when we were still teching downtown behind the shopping center. I really felt bad because as hard as I tried, I could not find a class for the mid-engined Ferrari he drove to tech that day. Years later we still laughed about that when we would talk at the races.

Rest in peace Richard. You will be missed by many at the races.

So sorry to hear this. I considered Rich a good friend. Always a class act. He always came to see me if we were at the same race and I knew he loved his radio's we have talked about that too. RIP
