I just saw this. I remember him from General Hospital . I even had his exercise record when I was in my teens.

RIP Richard.

This is so sad. He was actually coming out of seclusion more in the past several weeks, posting on his Facebook account.

The police report says he had a fall earlier in the day which may have contributed to his death.

I remember him from his "Sweatin' to the Oldies" video that I had back in the day.

May he rest in peace:

I thought I heard on the radio yesterday that it was his birthday. That was the first I'd heard about him in quite some time.

I am sad hearing this. He always seemed like such a kind and compassionate person, and there are far too few of those in the world. I always felt that he must have suffered a lot more than what he discussed publicly. There was a vulnerability about him that just drew people to him like a pied piper. I am glad he got to celebrate his birthday before he left us. RIP

Let's not forget about his participation in the greatest game of Living Scenery ever...

He helped so many people and seemed like such a kind soul. RIP.

I remember him from his "Sweatin' to the Oldies" video that I had back in the day.

May he rest in peace:

I had those videos and watched him on TV too. I loved that he seemed to care about people. He will be missed.

He did so much good for so many people. Thank you jmenjes for sharing that hysterical video. Once again, Richard has brightened my day!

Anyone remember this? Commercials aired constantly back then. I really hope someone close to him pays tribute and does some sort of biography. I'd love to learn more about his life and the people in it, beyond his past public appearances. He seemed like such a good guy - always kind to fans.
