 frankm (4888) | Just heard Gary passed away. I met him on several occasions, he was always friendly and seemed like a good guy. He had his own sound and wrote some great songs. Sad, very sad. Rest In Peace, Gary, Rest In Peace frankmQuote |

 guitard (7354) | Oh man … one of favorite guitarists ever. Saw him from the front row one time in 1978 and was blown away. According to an article I just read: [quote]According to UltimateClassicRock.com, Richrath released one solo album, in 1992, Only the Strong Survive, but reunited briefly with the band in 2013 when they staged a benefit concert for residents of central Illinois displaced by a series of powerful storms in the area.[/quote] I wonder if that was filmed? Would love to see it. guitardQuote |

 Mink (2663) | There might be video on youtube. I know there is audio from the show. I had it, but it is on an external hard drive that took a shit. So, I can’t access it anymore. Maybe it’s still at dime. MinkQuote |

| guitard (7354) | I haven’t seen any pictures or video of Gary for probably the last 20 years or so and I hate to speak poorly of the deceased … but damn he looked like hell in the above video and also in this video from 2014. It looks like his neck was an extension of his chin. Gosh damn … he sure went down hill physically in his later years. guitardQuote |

I agree Randy, I’m wondering if he had some sort of illness ? When you turn on your stereo, does it return the favor? mrmojohalenQuote |

Gary had a number of issues, which is sad. I won’t go much into it but he had a number of issues and demons. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones. frankmQuote |
