In Richard Simmons’ last days before his death

“How do you cope with loss?” Richard asked as he read the lyrics to the song. “It puts a strain on your heart. Some shed a lot of tears, others look up to the sky. It’s so hard to say goodbye. This is what I know, when it’s time for us to go, beautiful angels will greet us with a smile and a hello.”

Yet Richard knew his ultimate goal in life was to make those around him smile, as he noted when reflecting on his legacy.

“I’ll always be the court jester,” he said. “I’ll always be a fool. When the curtain goes up, I’m there to make people happy.”

And while the wellness guru admitted to stepping back from public life, he disputed the idea that he had disappeared, especially since he maintained relationships with his fans through fan mail, emails and even phone calls to those in need.

“When I decided to retire, it was because my body was telling me to,” he says. “I spent time reflecting on my life. All the books I’ve written, the videos. I never thought, ‘Oh, look what I’ve done.’ My thing was, ‘Oh, look how many people I’ve helped.’”
