Sarah Wood wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Diane and family, Richard was a special man, courageous with strength within I have not seen in my 55 years of nursing. He was always concerned when he texted me for a time he needed some help, concerned he may need to cancel. As Director of Nursing for Visiting Nurse Private Home Care we developed a bond, and he would share his pictures of his dog nurse Lucy. AND pictures with his long hair, short hair and no hair. I always called him Mr. Koontz, not Rich. Mr. Koontz I will miss you.”
