Not sure what to say?

We are saddened to hear the news of your fathers passing Richard. May the cherished memories bring you and your family peace and comfort during your journey through grief.

My childhood would have never been the same without Rich in it. From the All in the Family type jokes to the infamous nickname he gave me. The food challenges and just allowing me to be part of the family. I always felt included by Marcia and Rich. Rich was a man of few words but he was a man I will never forget. To Marcia and my cousins all my love and support during this time.

I´ve known Rich since high school. We were drafted into the army together, along with 12 to 14 others from our neighborhood, and went through basic training together. After serving in the US Army we would get together every five years after January 7, 196

I’ve known Rich since high school. We were drafted into the service together, along with 12 to 14 others from our neighborhood, and went through basic training together.
After serving in the US Army together we would get together every five years after January 7, 1966, the date we were drafted, and January 5, 1968 the day we were discharged, for an anniversary reunion with the guys we were drafted with. We would tell stories and share our memories.
Rich was a great guy.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
Love,
Debbie & Tom Zubrzycki

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I will always have fond memories of our time at Ft. Hood. It was a bond that will never be broken.

I served with Rich at Ft. Hood, Texas. I enjoyed his great sense of humor. A wonderful guy.
