I will remember Richard for his distinctive laugh and beautiful smile. I remember back in the day it would take him hours to get ready to go out and he was always late. Do you think that is hereditary?
I called him Tony Orlando since I've known him(the 70's)
He used to take me with him on his celebrity photo shoots when we both lived in LA.
So many memories..he was a wonderful to me and I miss him so much.
