- In memoriam: universe remembers richard fammerée
our dear friend and founder of universe of poetry, richard fammerée, passed away in the early morning of may 5, 2011, after a valiant battle with the devastating illness, als. we are so glad that he is free from suffering. we will miss him deeply and always.
he left us with a beautiful daughter, adéle fammeree, hundreds of brilliant songs and poems, this website and non-profit foundation, and an awareness of our human magic and interconnectedness. he lived to create from heart and soul, and he mentored and inspired so many of us on his journey.
richard's nature was one of pure acceptance. he had an uncanny ability to pinpoint and bring out the inner light in all of us, to touch that which is beautiful and allow it to flower — no matter the rank, station, or background, gender, ethnicity, or nationhood — for all of us who connected with him and realized our common humanity through him. he is the nexus through which all our lives have become interwoven in the community that he built at universe of poetry.
"a memorial celebration of the life and work of richard fammerée" was held sunday, may 15, at the chicago cultural center. the ceremony took place in preston bradley hall, where many of richard's dear friends and colleagues attended to reflect on and commemorate his life.
rest in peace beloved richard. we will love you always.
rachel, adéle, and all your dear friends and loved ones... » read more
