Rich at a birthday lunch at the office last year.
January 27, 2011
Lorraine, Jameson & Gregory -
Dianne and I were saddened to hear of Rich's passing. I enjoyed his company - he always had a smile and his sense of humor lightened the mood.
Rich kept reminding me that I taught how to ref soccer. I did such a good job that he went into coaching the sport! He was enthusiastic about both of these endeavors, as well as rooting for his boys' teams.
I will miss him.

Dear Mrs. Lam,
Unfortunately for us, we did not have the pleasure of knowing your husband. We are your neighbors at the opposite end of the street, and fate has not previously guided us together. We grieve for your loss and would be pleased to assist you in any way possible. Sincerely, Ann & Jerry Alexander (408) 773-1452.

I am sadden to learn about Richard's death. Even though I haven't seen him in many years, I've always had fond memories of him when I worked with him at Macys when I was in high school.

Remembering Richard
Lorraine, Jameson, and Gregory:
Richard touched so many lives, including mine. He will always live on in my heart. The times we had together were special. Tons of people have crossed paths with me but he is one that stands out from the rest. Richard's humor, incredible zest for life,energy and his positive attitude makes it so easy for one to converse and like him. Just thinking of Richard makes me smile.
I enjoyed our shared views on family values and how important...

Begin your Guest Book entry here.To my Uncle Rich:
Husband, father, son, brother,
But to me you were an uncle like no other.
So many thoughts in my head,
So many things left unsaid.
You left that day without a glance,
Not knowing that I would not get a second chance.
My promise to bake your favorite cream puffs,
Delicious whip cream you could never get enough.
I’d bake you the world if I could go back,
With all the sugar you’d most surely get...

Lorraine and family,
It's my honor to be able to volunteer with Richard in Chinese school. His enthusiasm, passion, and 'can do' attitude will be well-remembered.

Lorraine, I only met Rich a few times during the work parties, the times I did meet him I can tell how much he loved his family. His sense of humor always made it easy to chat and put a smile on my face. I could never tell that he went through the medical procedures over the past years because he seemed so positive about life. His curiosity about life and life's beauty can be seen by him trying to capture those moments with his camera. I was blessed to have met him and I admire him for...
