Every day I find myself looking for Rich's smiling face. He was almost always the second one in the door behind me each day and always had a smile (and his coffee). He is deeply missed and will always be a part of the Edward Segal Inc. family. My deepest condolences to Barbara and the entire family. May you find comfort in each other's loving arms and may his memory be a blessing.

Rich was one of my best friends for about the last 50 years... I have so many great memories of good times and laughs together with Rich, whether it was clowning around on dirt bikes, fishing in Maine, listening to music, going for a drive or just hanging out. Rest in peace Rich, you will surely be missed my friend. My deepest condolences to Barb and the entire Desrochers family.

I love to think of the memory when we all used to draw names for Christmas gifts (I guess because we´re such a big family). Uncle Rich drew my name and the gift he gave me was a very nice pair of shoes. I really liked them and felt so special that he picked them out for me
