I loved Rich! He was one of my favorite Sigma Chi brothers, and a man I valued greatly later in life for his constant sense of adventure. The world is diminished by his passing, but I will always be grateful for his influence, and proud to call him friend and brother. My deepest condolences to his wife and family.

Rich was a great guy. My heart goes out to all that are affected by this. Especially Tristen and the kids. My thoughts are with you all.

Tony and family my thoughts are with you

Richard was a friend through school. I was lucky to know he truly was authentic, kind and witty. A great friend to many. What a wonderful life he lived. Much love to his family and friends.

I am so sorry to hear about Rich's passing. We grew up together and he was a great guy. I am so glad he had such an amazing life. Love to his family

Best friend through jr high and high school. I'll miss him god bless him.

So sorry to see this for all of you Zito´s. Truly heart wrenching. Rich was a guy who honestly changed my life. He helped me to view the world through a different prism and made me a better man. I am grateful that i had the opportunity to thank him for that. He was generous, kind and immensely empathetic. I didn´t know anything about empathy until I met Rich. I will always remember him fondly.
