Not sure what to say?

I didn't know Rich except in passing, but I worked at a bar he'd come into now and then, and myself and another bouncer I know who met him as well and I were remembering him today and I thought I'd take a moment to honor his memory by saying, he always had something good to say. Anyone who's lived this life can tell you the world sucks sometimes but this guy was above that . He made everyplace he went a little more fun and somebody saw that big white smile, or said hello and got a pep talk or...

RIP to rich. Though I never met him, I heard about him and he inspires me. He is someone who has the heart of a champion and the dedication like no other. It´s tragic the world lost him. It´s sad the world lost him, and it´s different now that the world lost him

RIP to an eternal legend, crazy that once he left us the massive hole he left behind. Just feels like you lost a family member that's how much of a positive impact and emotional attachment he had on you.
