Rich was our daughter Christa's father-in-law. He was an uber mensch, a learned gentleman that was accomplished in so many areas - the law, chef, carpentry, metal working, etc.; too many areas to recount. He was loving, kind and generous to all, a great husband, father, brother, son, uncle, and father-in-law. We are so saddened at his passing and the great loss to Dena and his family. Much love and God bless you - Dena, Andrew, Jessica, Tim, and Christa.
