It hurts to lose someone special.
You were a rare and special find. You will always be with us in spirit and in mind.
You will always have a special place in our hearts.

Lisa..I am shocked and shaken now as I just found out.Whenever we saw eachother ...be it at and around the town,church,parties,school,soccer..or even in Hershey..Rich had the time to make us feel we were so special and worth his time to not only say hello,but to give a friendly hug and kiss and gleem into our eyes and truly give his undivided attention with such a warmth and caring and strength that I thought he was one of the finest human beings..a true Christian.His devotion to you ,Ashley...

Dear Lisa,
I can’t express my feelings of terror, sadness and unbelief when I got the news about Rich. He was a wonderful person, so kind and caring. His family was everything to him.
But… I guess, it’s not up to ‘us’ to decide when its time to go.
Our prayers are with you and your family! Rich will be always remembered!
