I met Rich when he was dating Kathy on Cornwall Avenue. I lived around the corner. I am stunned and saddened by his passing. Over the years we ran into each other many times and it was always a pleasant experience. He was so knowledgable about so many subjects. I am retired and have lived in palm beach gardens for the past 5 years so i did not know he was even sick. He always took such great care of himself. My condolences to Kathy and the rest of the family.He will be sorely missed
