jgarrison Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 Richard passed away last week from health related problems. Many of you knew him or knew of him. Quite the character and a huge fan of the Mooney line. RIP RZ.
mooneygirl Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 Thanks for letting us know. Quite the Mooney fan. Rest in Peace Richard.
DaV8or Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 Indeed a character, a Mooney fan and for some, a resource. I think nearly everyone shopping for a Mooney will find his site eventually. RIP.
1964-M20E Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 I spoke with Richard once and exchanged some emails with him before I purchased my Mooney. I agree with Dave most will find Richard’s web site during their search for a Mooney. RIP
John Pleisse Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 His website was awesome and he would talk Mooneys with you all day if you'd let him. Great guy. I am saddened. I hope his family leaves Mooneyland up on the www. Thanks for letting us all know Jimmy.
jetdriven Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 Richard's website was a wealth of information about Mooneys. I spoke with him on the phone for a few minutes for advice about buying the Mooney that we now own. It turned into a 2 hour conversation. I found Zef to be a passionate Mooniac and a knowledgable expert. He seems a little young to have gone west. Rest in peace, Richard. You will be missed.
PTK Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 I had spoken woth Richard a few times about Mooney things. I found him to be very knowledgeable and always willing to provide advice. RIP Richard. Deepest sympathies to his family and loved ones.
Mac201 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 I purchased my J through Richard. Yes, was a character and very passionate about Mooney's. Probably has the most colorful website out there! Simpathies to his family.
healthfx Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 Zephro was my mentor, helped me find my amazing '62 C. Miss you Richard! He worked hard for Mooney fans, for decades. He even has a new site coming to life in the near future! ...He was that passionate about keeping pilots safe!
Bacachero Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 He will be missed, he was the most enthusiastic mooney fan I have ever met. Many of us learned a lot from his articles on his web page. Thanks Richard!
