You were more than just a dad you were my best friend. I love you and will always be missing you.
May all your memories give you comfort
Thank God for the 'special' lifelong memories Rich and I shared as one. A genius! Love of my life and soul mate. We will meet again.
I Helped Richard Put Up Egg Crate Holders Up In The Garage Studio Richard Was So Talented And Really A Great Person. We Both Won Clios Together For A CKLW Radio Promo He Was So Proud Of That. I Will MISS HIM.
I'm so sorry for your Loss, Amy and family. May God Bless you All and may your Dad/Husband/Grandfather Rest in God's Loving Arms. Love to All
Please accept my deepest condolences. Your father was like a father to me.
I did not know Richard but worked with his son Bob. The way Bob talked about him he really must have been a great friend and father to many. I know he is in a better place now and my heart goes out to everyone who knew him.
Actually the day before Richard's passing I stopped at the studio to say hello..not knowing Richard's calling was so near...I feel a huge void as Richard Becker was and will always be a strong tie to many of my professional recordings. He will truly be missed.
So sadded to learn of Richard's passing. He knew Pete Woodman for many years before I met Richard. I remember some great 'musical moments' in the studio. He was a kind, generous, loving & talented man. Blessings.
