I am saddened to learn this after the fact. Rich was always a great person to work with at Magnavox. He was a positive influence upon those around him.

I am saddened to hear of Rich's passing. He was a truly a great person. Rich inspired me to reach for the lofty goal of becoming an Ironman for which I am eternally grateful to him. My condolences to you Renee and the rest of the family. Rich Cater you are an Ironman. See you at the finish line.
