I am very sorry and shocked to hear about Rich. I worked with Rich for multiple years at Benu. He was a GREAT guy, that I very much enjoyed working with. He always impressed me with his dedication to his family. The hardware team at Benu was the best team I have ever worked with and Rich was a big part of that. Again I am very sorry to hear about your loss.
