So sorry to hear this sad news. I first met Rich nearly 40 years ago at National City. A first ballot hall-of famer, Rich was a man of enormous drive, great spirit, and simply a total pleasure to be around. We shared many great moments that I will never forget. My condolences to all of his loved ones.

32 years of being one of the most incredible and selfless neighbors one could ever imagine. Oh, some of the memories we share as neighbors. That big smile and firm handshake will be greatly missed. Josephine, you and your family will continue to be in our prayers.
