I remember reading many of his posts and actually having great admiration for the guy, he finished college in an incredible short amount of time while also working. I am trying to do the same thing so many times I felt identified by him and many of his posts.
It's sad though, at times like these...all of that seems very pointless. .. being buried in books and studying when I can be spending time with my friends and family and making sure that they know how much I care about them.
Richard, although I did not meet you in person, I could tell you were a smart, caring person, who wanted to live his life to the fullest and not waste any time.
You had such a great life ahead of you. It is indeed a sad day for this community. You left your stamp in anandtech and I am pretty sure you will leave an irreplaceable void in these forums.
Rest in Peace Richard.
