He was born in Kendal, Saskatchewan, in 1924. He loved to reminisce about his early life when he and his family lived in Okla, Saskatchewan, for 2 years. The remainder of his life was spent in Regina. A lifelong sports enthusiast, Rich was a staunch supporter of the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Blue Jays. Rich and Bess spent many lovely summer mornings together playing par 3 golf.
