My Sympathies to Joy and the family.
Rich was a one of a kind DRY sense of humor guy. I enjoyed harassing him at Holiday and when I would see him in my professional manner. He certainly enjoyed his family and I would hear stories of the nieces and nephews.
And always the discussion of Joys "family dressing recipe" with Rich and Jerry when it was approaching the holidays.
You ALL have been Blessed with a wonderful family. Enjoy your times together and memories of family members who have passed on.

While visiting up North with Joy and Richard, we went to some garage sales. I saw a bowl I liked and asked how much. The owner then replied it was his dog's dish. We all had a good laugh. When we got back, Richard brought over an identical bowl and gave it to me and every time I use that bowl I think of him.
