Lynn,
I'm very sorry to hear this sad news. Richie was a good guy. Always witty and fun to work with. I enjoyed his company and our many conversations. Some of his quips are still recalled fondly in passing remembrances of those shared times. My family and I will keep you both in our prayers.

Lynn, we lost a good one in Rich. We had many good times and some bad ones as well with our chosen profession. He was always there if you needed him and was a friend anyone would be proud to have had. I will remember him in my prayers and I hope that now he has found the God he was always seeking.
