Always a good IBEW brother, a good friend and co-worker. He earned their respect. Although I only knew him for a short while, he left a lasting impression.

Ken and family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Rich. He was always nice to me. I remember seeing him working on the HMS Rose. My prayers are with you and the family.

I was very sorry to hear of Richard's passing. We went way back together to the days of the Falcon gym class, track meets and working at the Summer camp. We worked through Bullard-Havens where he eventually taught, and then helping him locate downed oak trees for his work on the HMS Rose project. He never slowed down and was always looking for something new to tackle. I'll miss him. He was one of a kind. I extend my condolences to his wife Joann, brother Ken, sister Dorothy and the rest of the family.
