Please except my deepest sympathy. I have the pleasure of knowing and working with Rich. He was a good friend to my father for many years and mentor to me when I started driving bus. Macho was a wonderful man who will be greatly missed but always remembered!!

"Uncle Macho", you will be greatly missed and forever remembered. I only met you but once, and unfortunatly didnt have time to get to know you...but I know you meant a great deal to many people! Rest in peace!



To the family, I have only been a part of you for a short time, but you are all in my prayers...rememeber, he is not gone...but a star in the sky to constantly look over you and guide you! Everytime a life passes on, a new angel is born to walk the earth, with a piece of him to live on! I love you all, and if you need anything, you can call on me!

Erik, baby, I love you...and I wil be here with you every step of the way! Everyone stay strong and when lost..hold your head high and use your heart to watch the stars...he will help you find your way...
