Hi Dear Friends,
I will always remember Richard with such warmth and laughter. He and I
had many a laugh together - a true fellow playful spirit - an elf of
sorts and one of the original solar elders - a true pioneer and
groundbreaker. I am sad I won't see him again in this life on one of my
trips back East.
Richard devoted many hours and many years to going out of his way to
help others - He was instrumental in NESEA (Northeast Solar Energy
Association) and SEBANE - (Solar Energy Business Association of New
England) where he served on the Board for many years. He brought such
cheer and good energy to those organization - and touched deeply
everyone he worked with.
Richard and I worked on a few projects together - and I always looked
forward to being with him. He was a true Brother.
Richard was truly a great human being - he gave so much love and good
humor - while also serving the solar field tirelessly.
Hats off and a deep bow to you Richard Gottlieb! May you fly free
wherever you may be.

Good Fortune was also with me when I met Richard soon after I choose to work
with battery-based PV systems.
He was a unique individual who came to life as only he could. He was
intelligent, generous, kind, and shared the goals of making the Earth, that
many hold Sacred, a better place for us all. We are all better for having known
and learned from him.

I was lucky enough to cross paths with Richard many times in my career. He
was an enjoyable and intelligent guy and I know those who knew him, my
self included, will miss his quirky and sometimes off beat sense of
being....

Richard was one of the early pioneers who brought Renewable Energy
awareness and installations into the public mind
I would call him my friend, one of my early mentors and a constant source
of inspiration and guidance whenever I had some design questions that I
needed feedback with.
He knew how to play and be resourceful and innovative. He was a natural
teacher and we co-taught together many Solar Design and Installation
courses for Solar Energy International.
Richard has left behind a rich legacy of installs and many talented
installers and designers who gained their beginnings in this field under
Richards mentoring.
He will be much missed by those who knew him, worked with him and got
their start under his guidance.
