Myself and the entire Stable – Spirit staff are so sorry for your loss.

RIP Sir Richard…Condolence to the family Hayes. Rich was a friend of mine.
Smiling through sadness at Rich’s passing. We DuPonters were pathologically polite, so Rich and my conversations were such fun! Such a creative, insightful, and subversive guy.
He was a dear friend, mentor, and colleague. He will be deeply missed by me and the rest of the team at Corning. May God comfort you during this time.
I worked with and for Rich at DuPont SRW Bldg 10 lab. He was a goo giy. RIHP, Rich!
DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE Hayes Family.
Regards, Keith & Patsy Staudt
