In honor of long-time DIS contributor Richyams, the DVC Board will go dark for an hour on Sunday, September 12, 2004 from 2:00pm - 3:00pm.

His wife Lisa has posted details of his death on the DVC Board. Rich had a heart valve replacement and aneurysm repair in 2000 and apparently died suddenly at home this week at the age of 42.

He mainly frequented the DVC and Debate Boards during his many years on the DIS. He has been around since the beginning of the DVC Board and was even a DVC chat host for a short period of time back in 1998.

He was often controversial, usually irreverant and always had a twinkle in his eye when we could peek behind the monitor. He has had an outpouring on the DVC Board in the several posts created in his memory.

There are links on the board for those wishing to contribute to a scholarship fund for his daughter (he was uninsured due to his heart condition) and an online Guest Book available for those wishing to express their sympathies to the family.

His wife Lisa and daughter Jacqui have both posted information and photos on the DVC Board. His tag on the DIS, A Man, A Legend, A Way of Life, will be displayed with his photo on his memorial bulletin for his funeral on Sunday in Weston, Florida.
