There just are no words to describe a man like Mr Rich; both strong and such a gentle soul. His pleasant personality, great sense of humor and a sweet smile. Although the time I knew him was brief; he certainly touched my heart and left an impression on my soul for a lifetime. Soar high Mr Rich; although you will be greatly missed I feel better knowing you'll be watching over us all from above.
