Robert Rich

Rob was a year ahead of me at Wesleyan, and lived in the Hartford area a few years after college, working at Aetna. We became roommates and lived in Newington for a while when I was working in the Lieutenant Governor's office. We spent some time visiting his parents on the farm, and we had a great time at Wesleyan and afterwards playing tennis, sharing stories and once going up in a single-engine plane with a friend. He once won a local golf tournament. I saw him again briefly in California...

Rob and I go back to his days at Wesleyan by way of our mutual friend Paul Dalbec. Rob and I shared a mutually off center sense of humor and I always enjoyed interacting with his father and mother at their farm in Woodstock. We all enjoyed attending his wedding to Polly in Philadelphia and I regretted not seeing more of him and Polly during their California years. The last time we got together was a couple of years prior to his death. Nancy and I enjoyed a long afternoon with them including...

Sending a prayer of comfort and peace following the passing of your loved one. I came across his obituary and while I didn't have the pleasure of knowing him, was impressed by the quality of his life. I hope one day my own announcement will be a description of a life well lived and the impression my being here made a difference. God bless your family.

Rob was a good friend and he will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
