RIP Richard Concepcion AKA Rapid T Rabbit

I must apologize for the delay in posting this memorial.

Richard Concepcion, of New York City, a long time fan of Caroll and someone who helped me develop Carollspinney.net, has passed away. His family had asked that people keep attention away from them during the immediate shock of his sudden passing on August 1st. It is completely understandable as Richard knew a lot of people and it has been said that the loss of a child is the worst form of trauma one can go through. Divorce and homelessness are other examples (my current situation), however I cannot imagine what it is like to lose a child as someone who has never given birth.

Please enjoy this video in Richard’s memory. I helped him out by performing the Dinosaur character Ricky Raptor in the Arthur Brown fan video for his song “Fire”.

May Richard Rest In Peace.
