Happy Birthday RC ... except for the ache in my heart, it's still hard to believe you're not here. So many memories of the 23 years we spent working together - the projects we completed, the milestones we celebrated, the fun times outside work & being your sounding board & confidant. You were the consummate investor/broker/entrepreneur and your profound ingenuity impossible to match. I feel fortunate to have learned from the very best. You will always have a special place in my heart. Rest...

Kristin, My condolences to you and your children. Rich sounds like a wonderful person--what a beautiful life together. I remember when you were whisked off to SI from us in Seattle and never looked back. Sally English (Schultz)

I just found about Rich´s passing. I am heartbroken. Rich was such a kind man and always a pleasure to work with. I will miss his smile and his laugh

Rich was a wonderful part of our community and especially supportive and welcoming to me personally in the commercial real estate arena. I remember wearing a leather jacket to a work function and he liked it so much he´s asked if he could copy it for his wife and make one out of their Highland hides. I think I handed him my jacket that night so he could make a pattern. My heart is broken to hear this news. Rich will be missed. My condolences to his family and friends.

This loss is just sad for everyone. I am so sorry for Rich´s family.

Our sincere condolences to the entire Ford family on the loss of Rich Ford. It was our pleasure to talk and walk or just hang out on the porch with Rich talking about fishing, mushrooms, dogs, or wine...the list goes on. Rich knew how to keep a topic going and keep it interesting. We will miss our conversations Rich. You were an interesting, inspiring, and exceptional person. Hayward will never be the same without you, our friend.

The Fagans were very sad to hear about Rich´s death. Peace you your family.
