I love & miss you more & more everyday ! -

My sincere sympathy to all of Rich's family. I had the pleasure of working with Rich at "First Step". He took my office and always joked that I made it look like Burger King with the bright colors. He was my "go to guy" for advice. He always spoke fondly and with love about his Carolyn, his children and his grandchildren. I remember he told me to live life like a frog....leaping from lily pad to lily pad but always looking around. He also told me "whenever I don't know what to do...Just be...

May you rest peacefully in the arms of the angels. I miss you so much already. Every memory & conversation I hold deep in my heart. Your voice will never leave me and your hugs I can still feel. You were the greatest grandfather in the entire world <3 like you told me before "grandpops never leave ill always be with you" until we meet again domer! I love you forever & always & you got your undefeated notre dame season:) love you grandpop


I remember only good things about Rich (Red Dawg). - his constant smile, fun loving, easy going personality. Yet he was a hustling,tenacious ,ball player. Putting it all together, he was a terrific team mate. In many ways he and Ed Goshow were similar. They were tributes to the Falcon Symbol. Remember our song -"Falcon symbol.... We will love and revere thy fair name".
We'll all are team mates forever and when we play together again we'll be champions.

Regards, Ed Schmitt, North...

Fondly remembering a sunset in Fortescue with Carolyn and Richard. All our best. Patrick and Maureen
