Dear Kathleen and Family,
So sorry to hear of your loss! My wife and I were classmates of Rich at Marian High School. I also attended St. Michael's grade school with him and we played Little League baseball together in the summers. We remember him fondly! God bless you at this difficult time!

Kathy and Family, you are in my thoughts and prayers. It's hard to believe my buddy Rich is gone. He was a significant part of my life during our formative years and a very good friend. With his excellent memory and storytelling, The El was always able to bring a smile to my face as he updated me on current events upon my periodic returns to the Valley. He regarded his family as his greatest accomplishment and was proud of all of them. I will miss him. Bon voyage, my friend! JMCF

will pray for you and your family. I always had great memories to share with Rich, especially about the sports accomplishments of his Dad Walter and my dad "Pete", when they played for the Lake Harmony Lakers. Will always miss but recall with great pleasure.
