Rich Swift 60

I just heard from Jim swift about Rich's passing from here to a better place. A great tribute in all the notes to Rich. His parents would be so proud of him as the rest of his family remaining here must be. May we all make sure we will all be with him someday.

RIP coach Swift. You have touched and inspired many hearts throughout the years. You will live on forever in all of us. Thank you for being just you are and helping all of us be who we are. You will greatly be missed but never forgotten

Dear Mike and Larry,
Am so sad to hear about Rich. He was a great guy. He called me a couple of months ago (After he ran into Susie at the Volunteer Dinner)and thanked me for "imparting values that he taught every day". I had him in Cub Scouts for 3 years (With your dear Mom's help)
He made me very proud! Love Jayne Hengl, Chiloquin, OR

You helped to shape the lives of so many and I know that your courage, spirit and strength will live on in all of us who knew you. RIP Coach Swift

Coach Swift was one of my high school mentors. A lot of times I didn't like what he had to say (and I let him know that), but then days or weeks later I'd go back to him and tell him he was right more times than not. Heaven has gained an angel - he'll be sure and keep them all in shape, to!
RIP, Coach.
