Frak.
Richard,
You were my idol when I was young. It was always Apollo, not Starbuck, I pretended to be while riding my banana seat bike around our neighborhood.
Thanks for carrying the BSG flag for so many years.
You will always be my Apollo.
Thank you for everything.
You will be missed.
May you pilot your Viper straight and true into that long good night.
And May the Gods be with you.
This cylon sheds another tear this day.
