Rich was a great guy and we had a great time at our Try Z training many moons ago. He will be missed by anybody that knew him.

I worked with Rich, at Phoenix, for many years, and he was always a lot of fun to be around. He loved his golf, cars, and bikes. But most of all he loved his family. My condolences to Carol and the children.
