It is with profound sadness that I must notify all that Richard Sudhalter died last night. Richard had pneumonia for several weeks. Last Sunday, when he had serious difficulties breathing, he was admitted to the hospital for the second time during this period.
No funeral arrangements, as per Richard's wishes, have been made. There will be, in the near future, a celebration of Richard's life.
Earlier this year, I wrote a biographical sketch.
I join Richard's family, friends, and admirers in expressing my sorrow.
