My husband and I met Rich when he was walking many years ago past our farm/ home on Shailor Hill, he stopped here every day to say hello, when he would walk by. we own a group home for people with special needs and we have several individuals that work on our farm, Rich was always so kind to all of them, he would stay and tell us stories and laugh with all of us. We also have 2 dogs Rich always brought treats for them, If we were not outside when he went by he always put the treats in the mailbox. I remember during Covid we made a big sign for him and put it up in the yard from the dogs thanking him for their daily treats and gave him a gift card for always being so kind, he laughed, he thought that was the funniest thing. Rich, we will all miss you, and your kindness to all of us. we all love you very much. love everyone at Rockland farm John and Ellen Young
