Rich, was my brother in the Fraternity of Lay Dominicans. I know him to be a faith filled man. He touched many with his articles and poetry. I just know that St. Dominic and St. Bartolome de las Casas, met Rich at the gates of heaven, and walked him thru.

Rich was a dear friend who showed me why one must keep seeking and discerning until one discovers truth. He was never satisfied with the status quo and sought to convert souls through Mary, who wanted nothing more than to bring souls to her son.

When I picture him, I invariably see him smiling, ever ready to rouse everyone from indifference and to make them look at things in new and more meaningful ways.

Dearest Dad,
I will miss you every moment. You are forever in my heart. Your strength in body and spirit these last few years was phenomenal. As my father you gave me unconditional love always. You instilled confidence and an insistence on acceptance of nothing that is phony or wrong with the world. You taught me to love and to fight and to persevere. I am sorry that you missed the birth of my first son. He missed you by 12 hours but came on mom's birthday as a gift to all of us to...
