Not sure what to say?

Rich was one of those rare people who could light up a room just by walking in. His gentle but quick sense of humor that was never negative which is my greatest memory. I always felt blessed to have known him.

When I was starting my career in computer programming back in the mid-80s, Rich was my instructor at Siena College teaching Fortran. He was a good teacher and I learned a lot from him. My dad, Clarke G. Homan worked at the Benet Weapons Lab as a research physicist, and spoke very highly of Rich who was also working at the lab. Sadly, most if not all of the people that worked in the lab at this time have passed, including my dad and now Rich. Rich was also working good guy.

To Family and friend Sorry for your lose. Rich was one of the nicest guys I've ever known. Never had a bad word to say about anyone. Always cheerful and ready with a joke or two. Stayed in touch with him through emails. After golf i couldn't wait to get back to the clubhouse to hear about his round... of jokes. I'll miss you buddy

Sorry for your loss. He is in Gods hands now

Sincere Condolences to the family.

We were extremely sorry to hear that hat Rich passed. He was a wonderful person. We had lots of fun and laughs with Rich and Betty in Florida and upstate NY. Rich will truly be missed. Our sincere condolences to the entire family. Bob & Mary Ann Simard
