My sincere sympathy to all of Rich's family. I had the pleasure of working with Rich at "First Step". He took my office and always joked that I made it look like Burger King with the bright colors. He was my "go to guy" for advice. He always spoke fondly and with love about his Carolyn, his children and his grandchildren. I remember he told me to live life like a frog....leaping from lily pad to lily pad but always looking around. He also told me "whenever I don't know what to do...Just be still." I missed him when he left First Step...he was a wonderful counselor and a wonderful friend...You as his family were blessed to have him as a husband, father and grandfather. Nancy

I remember only good things about Rich (Red Dawg). - his constant smile, fun loving, easy going personality. Yet he was a hustling,tenacious ,ball player. Putting it all together, he was a terrific team mate. In many ways he and Ed Goshow were similar. They were tributes to the Falcon Symbol. Remember our song -"Falcon symbol.... We will love and revere thy fair name".
We'll all are team mates forever and when we play together again we'll be champions.
Regards, Ed Schmitt, North Catholic "55""

He was a great man. He was one of the best grandfathers a kid could ask for. I will miss him with all my heart.

To "Red Dog" the nickname Dick had when he played at North Catholic, he always had the dirtest practice uniform we said if there was dirt on the field he would find it. He was a guy always with a smile and a great cop I used to see him downtown I think diecting traffic around 15th street. He will be missed I will let others from the "55" team know of his passing
