The Hampels lived next door to the Males for 25 years. We never really appreciated the amazing scope of Richard's brilliant career. He was that incredible smile and that warm welcome that was always there. Of course he was humble always but the lessons were there if I had chosen to learn them. I dearly miss the Male family and feel a void where that ineffable kindness that was Richard flourished. There's a lesson here; appreciate the people around you. Get to know everything you can about your neighbors and your friends. You may be living next door to a humanist of international scope and iinfluence along with liivng next door to a really lovely human being. He will be dearly missed. Fondly, Sharon Hampel
