Dick was a very nice guy I worked with him many years ago at Fuelgas. He was funny and help show me how to do my job. I know his family will miss him dearly.

Very sorry for your loss, Glenda. I worked side by side with Big Rich for close to 15 years. He was a great man, well respected, and always, always funny. He will be sadly missed. My heart goes out to Glenda, Jeff, Joe, and the entire Shoopman and Salavics families.
