Rich was CPA of the music industry top musicians and artists plus many producers, engineers and musicians. He worked for Warner Records in the '70s and we became familiar with his non aggressive style of working things out for recording studios and others especially in tax matters. As a studio owner in the '70s he called me to collect taxes for Warners when the laws were ambiguous in which I had saved just in case. Many studios didn't. He worked them all out favorably and kept everyone going with payback plans and reductions. I know when he became a private CPA all of the studios and music folks flocked to him as I did for our taxes.
Two weeks ago he died of Leukemia after complications from bone marrow transplant surgery which developed into infections. All of us he helped who knew him were stunned and just recently found this out. So... We wish him well on his spiritual journey and hope this of you in the same boat as me find suitable replacements. He has a facebook page.
