It is with great sadness to report that one of our long-time clients of 16 years, Richard Marks, has suddenly and unexpectedly passed away on New Year's Day in New York. I am nearly at a loss for words. Richard began with State of the Heart Fitness back in 2005 and had been a loyal client ever since. He was religious about his twice a week sessions, but for the past 3 months, he and Barbara were in Paris to visit friends, but also in New York, where they had an apartment. Both from New York, originally, they would usually spend this time of the year back in NY for a few months. Just last week Richard texted me that he was looking forward to being back and he wanted to resume his sessions starting on Monday January 21st. I told him I couldn't wait to see him because I always loved our conversations, laughter and typical back n' forth banter. Richard, simply, was an amazing man. Very quiet and modest in many ways... yet, chances are, you have all seen some of his work as an Academy Award nominated film editor. Some of his classic films are Terms of Endearment, Apocalypse Now, and As Good As It Gets... just to name a few. I'm just in shock and the tears are there. The picture of he and i at the top of this email was back in September before he left. It is the ONLY picture I ever took of us in all of those years. Why this time? Why now? Did I know on something on some level? I will cherish this picture forever. As you can see... we were laughing like always. I'm sure I had probably just sang him a song. Ha! He loved (NOT) when I sang. Actually he'd say he didn't like my singing but I know he really did so I sang as much as I could. 😜 Richard... I will miss you terribly and I know Barbara and your family will too... and all of your friends. You will never be forgotten. Thank you for letting me be a part of your life and for being a part of mine. I am a better person because of you. I will keep your time of 11:00 am open on Monday, January 21st in honor of you. RIP, sweet man. ❤️😢 #richardmarks #academyawards #filmeditor #legend #apocalypsenow #asgoodasitgets #termsofendearment
