[Tig] Richard Parker

[Randy Starnes]

We miss you Richard.  To Raynelle, and Dave, John and Linda, we send all our love.
What a huge loss this is for us, for his family, for my family, and for Richard's many friends which included his clients.  He was one of the people who propelled me in my career, first by convincing me that I wouldn't be anywhere near as good as him at on-line editing, and most formatively by showing me how to treat clients.  I was able to help out at Colorbay for a couple of weeks in December when he went in for his last treatment, and learned a few things about my good friend of over twenty five years.
  
His clients were his friends and he treated every job like a personal 'best' effort for a friend.  He was the ultimate craftsman, artist, music lover, and motor head, all the while being the star that his universe of friends orbited.  This is just so hard.  He was my hero, and he will never be forgotten.  Peace be with you brother.
