Richard was the kindest smartest (by far) individual I had ever met. He was a friend and classmate from fifth grade through High School.

As an undergraduate physics major at Kansas, I had Professor Rich McGovern for one math class. I remembered him as an affable and dedicated teacher. A great guy. I'll never forget him for once scolding our class. He would no longer accept homework that had been performed on a spiral notepad, then torn out of the pad. He said he was tired of his office floor being covered in tiny bits of paper. He had a point. I've been wary of spiral notepads since that day!

My condolences to the McGovern family. I will always appreciate the time he spent teaching me the art of I Liq Chuan. Kind, patient, generous with his time and knowledge.
Rest in peace.

Rick & Alice visited in '82. I was house sitting a Tudor mini-mansion in Jenkintown, Pa. with a second rear entrance through the kitchen. The kitchen table had a thick, but cracked, glass top, and leaning over to turn on a light, I rested my left hand on the glass, leaned too heavily, the hand went thru the glass up to the wrist, and there was blood everywhere. Instantly he grabbed my arm--when Rick grabbed you, you were going nowhere--held it vertically while my wife wrapped it in a towel, then the four of us drove to the hospital. I'd lost blood, was in shock, but had surgery two days later. As a doctor confirmed later, Rick probably saved my life. Miss the man, and aggrieved not only for his passing but for having lost touch.--Joe Barbarese

I first met Rich at Sifu's house during our annual martial arts training over President's Day Weekend in the early 2000's. I admired Rich for being both an academic and an athlete. Even in his later years, he was an impressive display of brains and brawn. There are few men like him left today. He will be missed.

My sympathy to Alice and the rest of the family. I remember him as a kind and good teacher of I Liq Chuan. He was extremely helpful to me in the early days of my training, and I remember him fondly.

Deepest condolences to the family of Richard. I remember fondly our brief time together in China, spinning hands, enjoying the culture, our breakfast chats and walking the wall. I hope and pray you have found peace. Thank you for your friendship, farewell mate. From all of us in Western Australian I Liq Chuan. Bevan Castle
