We are so very grateful that we were friends from elementary school throughout life. Thank you Rich for being a friend even though we have been apart in location for years. We think of you and Maureen as well as you family often but especially when you took in our son at 3 AM that cold November morning when our daughter was about to be born. So many memories of school and of course Star Market and coffee late into the night? or was it early morning! We were privileged to have you as a life long friend. God Bless you, Maureen and your sweet family. Forever in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.

Lots of great memories, good times and many laughs in the 65 years we were friends. I'll never forget your model trains, Crane's Beach, golf at Unicorn and Mt Hood, the bookstores and of course Star Market. Rest in peace Rich.
