It is with heavy heart that I announce the passing of one of our moderators Richard King. Richard started his mod duties here on DBSTalk back in September of 2003. He was both a good friend and a mentor. I will miss him terribly but take comfort in the fact that he is now in a better place. Goodbye Richard and God speed.

OMG!!!

He was indeed a terrific mod and great contributor here for a very long time. I'm stunned.

My condolences. Was it unexpected?

 

[Go Beavs]

Wow. I don't know quite what to say...

Rest in Peace Richard.

 

[Chris Blount]

Last I heard is that he had a brain tumor and was getting treated but he said it was OK and would keep us posted. So sad.

 

[Scott Kocourek]

Goodbye Mr. King, you will be missed.

 

[Stuart Sweet]

I know that this was not unexpected. Richard started making plans quite some time ago but of course, one always holds out hope.

My friend Richard was always in good spirits, every time I talked or corresponded with him, and he was a strong influence on me in my early days as a staff member. There's a lot about DBSTALK that bears his personal stamp, and I am pleased and honored to have known him.

 

[Earl Bonovich]

Wow... over the years, I had many a conversations with him...

Great guy, great person.

Sad loss.

 

[FHSPSU67]

Very sad to hear. I always enjoyed him talking about his musical interests.
Rest in peace Richard.

 

[Cholly]

Sad news, indeed! I'd missed his presence here on DBSTALK for some time -- his talk about recording he'd done, his problems with his rentals, his love of photography and his many undertakings, not the least of which was his presence here. He became a friend to all who exchanged posts with him. RIP, Richard! :crying_sa

Wow, only 62 years old.

RIP Richard

I am stunned! Richard was a good friend and the only DBSTalk member I have personally met. In fact, toward the end of his infamous "world tour" back in 03 or 04(?) he came out of his way to my home to meet and check me out . We went to lunch together that day and we PM'd a lot and talked by phone afterward until the past year or so since he disclosed the tumor.

Richard King was truly one of the good guys, a true friend to me, and I'm sure, of many others. He will be missed. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family.

May you rest in peace, rking401, may you rest in peace.

Sorry to hear my heart goes out to his family

I never met the Gentle Man called Richard but I am impressed by the thoughtful and caring sentiments of so many here. It alone says it all.

R.I.P. Richard King

RIP, Richard King.

I'm very sorry for this loss.

I lost a cousin yesterday due to a brain tumor. Now this. Very sad. R.I.P. Richard.

I am so sad to hear about Richard's passing. I did not have the pleasure of meeting him, but over the years, I followed his posts and exchanged many PM's with him. He was truly a great individual and you would always be prepared to smile when reading his posts.

 

[Geronimo]

Like others I did not have the pleasure of meeting but I wish I had. He and i often disagred but i always respected him and he certainly always treated me with respect. the world asa whole and the online community in particular need more people like that.

My condolences to everyone that knew him, and to his family.
