Sadly, Simmons passed away on Saturday, July 13, at the age of 76.
“Hello everyone. Richard worked very hard on his posts for you. He had many ideas and would work ahead… going back to each one making changes until he had it just like he wanted before posting,” wrote his team, sharing a glimpse of Richard’s dedication and love for his fans.
“As you know, on the weekends, he would just share a photo with a caption. He always chose his photos and wrote his captions for the upcoming weekend by Friday,” they added.
