Alaska fishing with Rich and others. Just one of the many memories of time with a good friend and colleague.

I will be always grateful for the time I shared with Rich been his caregiver for a couple of months. In the middle of the struggle of his illness, he had the kindness and patience to do a lot for me, he corrected my expressions, gave ideas on how to better express others, and sometimes discuss the meaning of certain words. I am now a Lecturer teaching Statistics. The process of learning English always will be part of my life as it will be the memories I have with Rich.  When people sometimes ask how has been my process in learning a new Language, rich is always in my comments. I think the few things I could have done for him were much less than the confidence he was able to boost in me. I still have fears of speaking in this non-native language. They are even more now that I am in need of expressing academic ideas in videos (because of Covid) or in public, but now I know that I can beat them. With deep gratitude.
