All though I've really know Rich a short time. I immediately felt a connection with him. I loved his determination and grit. I am so glad I met this lovely family 10 years ago through Holly, then Will, then Susan and then Rich. Love you all and thinking about you.

To Susan and family, very sorry to hear about Rich and your loss. Working with and being around Rich was the best for he he always kept you upbeat with that frequent good humor and that deep laugh that he always was able to deliver. I can still hear that deep chuckle that Rich had... He certainly had a huge concern for his fellow workers and was always willing to give a lending hand to whatever and everything that would come up. We certainly share your loss and will alway remember Rich - what a great man and fellow co-worker at Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line and Trunkline Gas Company.
