Even though I only knew Rich a short time, he left such an impression with his bright smile, warmth and energy for life! We've had his picture on our office wall for months, reminding us of his skydiving stories and the enthusiasm he had for the sport! He was such a kind spirit, and he will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family in this time of loss.
