I cannot believe it has been 8 years. You were one of the finest individuals I have ever met. There are so many things I admired about you; the two biggest being your integrity and your loyalty. Your kindness was undeniable and your sense of humor had me laughing most of the time. You were one of my best friends and I miss you so much. RIP, Richie, I love you. " Fish"

Rich
You were my hero and my "go to guy". You were always there for me , no matter what the situation.
You were a man of great integrity , your love of family and friends was unmatchable, and your kindness towards everyone was just incredible. You made me laugh harder than anyone and busted my chops like nobody's business. One last thing to add some humor, which I know you will appreciate, and I never told you. Had I not been gay, you would have been the man of my dreams. I love you, Rich. RIP. --Fisher

Uncle Rich,
The lessons in life that you taught me a far greater than any monetary gift could have ever provided. No one could ever challenge your loyalty, integrity or generosity!
I will miss you more than words can express but I am truly thankful for the time we had.
Your little brother,
BB
