I'll never forget all the good times I had with Rich and Deb back in our college days and beyond. I was a regular fixture at their house for years. Rich was a very good sport about Deb and my shananigans. I miss him dearly.

My deepest condolences to the Brown family. Rich was one of my first childhood heroes growing up and playing sports in Gwinn. May you rest in peace, Rich.

To Deb and family please accept my sincere condolences. I always enjoyed playing with and against Rich and he was always very nice to me. I was a youngster his senior year at Northern and the coach had him room with me on the road trips so he could keep an eye on me. Wish I would have found out early enough to attend the funeral. Will keep you and your family in my prayers.

To Deb and all of Rich's family and friends. I was fortunate to play basketball with and (sometimes) against Rich during his days at NMU and in the Summer league at Ohio Street park. An early highlight of my baskeball days was playing on his park team - summer of '73 - we won the league tournament that summer - what great fun.
Rich was so talented and man-oh-man, could he jump!
Deb, I remember you two in and around Marquette and I am so very sad to hear of his passing.
With the fondest of thoughts for you and Rich's family.

I am shocked and saddened by the loss of Rich. I will never forget all of the good times we had while in college and for many years beyond. He and Deb were always very welcoming and helpful when I needed them. He will be fondly remembered and missed.
