I only knew and worked with Rich for 6 weeks. And yet, of all the people I worked with, Rich was absolutely one of the warmest and nicest people I met in my short time here. And in my brief personal discussions with him, he talked lovingly of his children; certainly, to me, the sign of a good and loving man. I am very sorry for your unexpected loss.
