Rich had indeed lead a good and storied life. He knew how to enjoy life and you always knew where you stood with Rich. His candor was his greatest asset. He totally loved his wife and his sons.
He was a good Elk and we will miss him dearly in the Ritual circle of Elks.

To Kathleen and Family. I have known Rich for many years through the Elks Organization. I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing on Friday. Our thoughts and prayers are with Rich as he has now passed on high to a new beginning in the hereafter. Many of us from around the State will remember all the good times we had with Rich in Elkdom. The faults of our members we write upon the sand, their virtues upon the tablets of love and memory. God Bless Rich and God Bless all of you in this time of sorrow.
