So very shocked and saddened to just hear the news. Rich, a wonderful, joyous man who was always there to take care of problems even after leaving his job at Kennedy House. Someone I could always count on and who always did such wonderful work. Rich, you will missed more than words could ever express. No one will fill your shoes. Joy Rosenbloom Kennedy House
