Not sure what to say?

Eileen, I am certainly deeply saddened by Richard’s death. I did send a sympathy card and make a Theta Chi donation in his name but today, the card was returned because I had an old address. I also gave Theta Chi your old address so you will not get anything from them. Please know that Sandy and I are also grieving and keeping you in our prayers.

Eileen, I was informed just this morning by Jeb Britton of Rich’s passing. I remember fondly all of our years working together at VNB. He was such a kind and gentle man. I am so very sorry for your loss. May he Rest in Eternal Peace.

I worked for Rich for 9 years and throughly enjoyed my time in his employ. He was a geat leader and a consummate professional that helped me further my career. He will be sorely missed. I am so sorry for your loss Eileen.

Brothers forever. I’ll miss Rich.


I first met Rich at the start of the business and I believe Eileen was in banking at the time. I was happy to hear of her involvement. I was in retail banking and more than pleased to offer my services. I loved Rich's devotion to the industry and I believe he foresaw a positive impact to family life style. I was not surprised at his success! Eileen and family please accept my condolence on your loss. Rich will be greatly missed by all who knew him, worked with him and learned from. ...

We were so sorry to hear about Rich, Eileen. He was such a great guy.

Rich was an inspiration during my years at ODU and as a Theta ChI brother. He always embodied the motto "A Helping Hand". The last time I saw Rich was when we were both on a business flight years ago. He had the gift of making one feel as if he had just spoken to you a day (not years) ago. A life well lived!

Eileen, my heartfelt condolences for your loss. Rich was always friendly and welcoming the times I met him; I’ve described him to others as a “good guy” although I know he was much more than that. I’m thinking if you, dear friend.

Rich, “Mr. Hot Tub,” was a kind and generous man and one of the stars of the Leadership Hampton Roads Class of 1990. His passing is a loss for Hampton Roads.
