Rich was a teammate and friend of my husband Gerry Fitzhenry. I believe I met him at Joe Kane's house on our second date. Over the years, Rich and Gerry met to organize reunions etc. The last time we saw him was on a cruise; I believe it was in 2010 (if my memory serves me right); and funerals of old teammates. Gerry is also in LTC as of February of this year; in fact, he is 90 years old today! They had great times but sadly, they come to an end. Rich was a very nice man.
Sincerely, Betty Fitzhenry
