Condolence: I never spoke to Richard one on one, but I could always sense that he was full of passion and a thirst for adventure. All the manga he read at the library definitely showcased that. I admired his spirit from afar, and the way he moved through the world with confidence definitely left a lasting impact on me. Whenever I pass by that library I think of him; I've even seen the library in my dreams a couple of times. And whenever I have those dreams, the gravity in them is different. I could jump a lot further and slowly float to the ground. I would feel light and free, which I imagine is how he always wanted to feel. I hadn't seen him in a awhile when I first heard of his death, and to be frank I was surprised but not that surprised. Someone like that does not go out without a bang. Nevertheless, I can only imagine how morbid that experience must have been for everyone involved, so my deepest condolences there... I hope your memories of him inspire you just as much they do for me and I hope your dreams too are filled with pleasant symbolism. And I hope any of the pain and darkness you're carrying gets released, so all you have left is the light he cast on your heart.

Condolence: Richard Alexander Fink was my best friend and the most amazing person I've ever known. He always had such a big heart of gold and it's such an honor to say that I got to know him. He had a hard time trying to be there for everyone but he was great. I can tell you that he'll always have a place in my heart and memories. I will miss him until the end of time. Sleep well my love.....
