Sorry for your loss of Rich. I enjoyed working with Rich at footwear. He always put a smile on my face, no matter how the day was going. He was a great man and coworker. Handled any breakdown that was handed him. I am so thankful to have worked with and known Rich. You will be missed RP. You can rest now. Tip.
