To the family and freinds of Rich, my heart is broken for all of you. Rich and I dated a few years before he got married. Rich was always the life in every party. Never was there a moment when he wasn't smiling or laughing. A few years back I ran into him and he spoke of his daughter and all the joy in being there father. My prayers are with you all at this difficult time. He was a great man with an ever greater heart.

I am very saddened to hear about the loss of Rich. I shared many wonderful memories with Rich through the years.i will never forget his larger than life laugh, ability to make you laugh, love of his daughters, and just being a genuine soul.

This has taken myself as well as others by surprise.
The first time I met him, well we did not hit off to good but within the last six months I grew to enjoy his laugh and smile.
He helped me out at work. He actually helped me to relax and realize that life is to short to spend it SAD.
So for this I thank him. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
I would say rest in peace, HOWEVER....
I do not believe he will be resting to much as the lord my God will have plenty of work for him to do.
God Bless

Praying for you Elsa, and the girls, as you face this difficult time. Although I do not know you well, I could see the love you both had for each other. Here for you if you need anything, ever.

Remembering you Rich, and how you could always amaze me when you "tickled the ivories" playing a mean boogie woogie!! May you rest in the arms of the Angels. To Rich's family and loved ones, my sympathies. I knew Rich many Moons ago, he stood up to my wedding to Kevin Thiemer. Flamingo pink tuxedos, high top tennies (Miami Vice!)... those were the days!! Many good memories.

What I remember most about Rich was the way he would lean in as he approached you, much as his Dad did, as if to share something for your ears only. The difference was that he did it with that silly grin that held the promise he was bringing something bound to make you laugh. Rich loved to laugh, and he liked to make people laugh along with him....a bright spark in a sometimes dull world. He valued his friendships highly, and he always treated me as a brother. I will miss him greatly, and am sure many others will also.

I will never forget his laugh and the numerous games of horse that we played in his office. I will miss him.
April 26, 2016
My heart goes out to you Elsa & the whole family. Loss so young is so unfair, but things will get better. What I knew of Rich he was a fun person and was always smiling.

When I think of Rich, what I remember most is the way that he would lean in when he approached you, the same way that his dad would, as if to share something meant for your ears only. But he would do that with the silly smile on his face, that promised he was about to share something bound to make you laugh. Rich loved to laugh and make others laugh with him. He valued his friendships highly and always treated me like a brother. I will miss him greatly as I am sure so many others will as well.

Rich was such a warm and funny guy. He lived each day to the fullest, and shared much laughter with those around him. We will miss him so much. Our prayers are with his family.
April 26, 2016
We remember Rich for his fun loving spirit and calling himself Mr. Milwaukee. We were so grateful that he entered Elsa and the girls lives. He was an amazing friend, man, partner to Elsa and father figure to the girls. He adored his two daughters and would talk about how proud he was of them.
Tim and I have many wonderful memories of Rich. We loved his competitive nature, fun loving attitude and need to try something new.
We miss you Rich!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
