My fellow mourners,
Today was indeed a sad day.
I had the great fortune to meet Richard and Dorothy on each of my
Tucson Gem/Meteorite/Fossil show trips, and like everyone else here
I am immensely saddened to learn of Richard's passing. His popular

I would just like to echo the sentiments made so far, Richard touched
all our lives, most of us through his wonderful works, and thus we all
have some little piece of him inside our heads that will live on. I am
sure it will be difficult for Dorothy to read all these touching
tributes (as always

Dear Dorothy.
Richard's book was the first that I read on meteorites and greatly enhanced
my knowledge and desire. It is still the ONLY book that I consistently
recommend to new collectors.
Rest assured that a life that has so enriched others never really ends but
goes on in the hearts
Excellent, André,
I am taking the liberty to send your suggestion
(copy of your mail) to the Meteorite List.
This, just to avoid cross-cutting of similar

Thanks (for Richard and Dorothy!)

Dear Dorothy,
I want to give my condolences for your great loss and my heart goes out to
you and your family. It is very sad news that a man who was so passionate

Dorothy and all,
How do you spell meteorite?-O-R-I-C-H-A-R-D-N-O-R-T-O-N. This name is
irrevocably tied to meteorites and their study. Richard has done more to
popularize and introduce the world to meteorites and meteoritics through his
wonderful books than any person I can think of.
Dear Dorothy,
we wish to express our deepest sympathy and condolences
to you and all the familly/friends.
We spent wonderfull time with both of you and we will
always remember Richard.
We learned a lot from beeing with you and we had some
good laugh and excitement on so many subjects.

I was not going to post on this sad topic, having only been collecting 3 or

anything useful to contribute. But perhaps it's people like me who have the
most thanks to give. After acquiring my first
