I was his Supervisor for several yrs. Rich was such a hard working man always dedicated to moving the mail happily and efficiently. He always had a kind word and a smile. It was pleasure working side by side with Rich as his cut was near my desk so we had many a conversation over the years. I know how much he loved his wife. Now they are together forever. PEACE OUT MY FRIEND.
