March 7, 2022 – Richard Riley, a founding member of Physician Sales and Service (now McKesson Corp.), passed away peacefully on March 2, 2022, at the age of 72.
Scott Adams, publisher of Repertoire, said in a statement, “I was so sad to hear of Richard’s passing. He was an amazing human. Without fail every time I spoke to Richard, he told me a great story and made me laugh. Last month, I recorded a Road Warriors podcast with Mike Abney on which we talked about Richard and how funny he was. I told an old PSS story about Richard and the day we dropped the podcast he called me to correct my version of the story, because I got some of the facts wrong. I feel so blessed that I was able to spend those 30 minutes with him just two weeks ago. As always, he had me laughing so hard I was in tears. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.”
