Last Sunday we held a beautiful memorial service for Richard at the Tse Chen Ling Center for Tibetan Buddhist Studies in San Francisco. About 25 people attended, including Richard’s sons John and Paul, his grandchildren Scott, Kris and Kim, and a number of our friends who had gotten to know Richard over the years. The program included a reading of The King of Prayers which Richard enjoyed during one of my visits with him at the nursing home. I made an art video earlier this year featuring Richard reading part of this prayer which we played along with an excerpt of Richard’s reading of the prayer in his nursing home room, and part of a video Richard made with Patricia about a Le Corbusier house in Paris.
You can read the eulogy I delivered on the San Francisco Memorial Page. We also had copies of Richard’s autobiography which is available on the Books page. And finally there is a slideshow of photographs that Kris took during the memorial.
With Love,
Scott
