Not sure what to say?

I just saw this and owe my view of being a professional photographer to my wise long lost friend Rift Fournier.

Dearest Rift,You will be missed by all ever fortunate enough to be blessed with your friendship. You will live in our hearts forever. Now it's time to go run with the wind.

Our best to the entire Fournier Family from the Fogartys of 38th Avenue in Omaha NE -- neighbors just around the corner. I was much younger but I strongly recall that Rift was always nice to "the little kids" on the block. He put together an amazing life and career and was an inspiration to all of us. From Jim, Bill, Nancy, Rosemary and John Fogarty (our sister Kay is deceased)

Ah, Rift! May love and happiness surround you always. You were a good friend to me through some tough times, I'm sending love to you on your journey to your next incarnation . . . whatever and wherever it might be. With love always.

God rest his sole,
Dear friend for many years,
One of a kind,

Always with a smile always lifted everyone around you up. You are an inspiration to all those who were touched by your kindness and generosity......;},,
PTV,
