He was a true Montreal legend. He once told me a story wherein he was accosted in his eighties by a young , angry black man seeking to rob him while brandishing a gun. Richard, ever unflappable, proceeded to talk to the young man, telling him stories about black Montrealers through history, to the point where the young man put the gun away, shook his hand and walked away! That was Richard to me.
