I was saddened when I heard of his passing. He was a great person, loved the conversations with him and his jokes. He took good care of me when I needed my car repaired. My heart goes out to the family.

I was saddened to learn of the passing of Rich. I met him 17 years ago when I moved back to Webster. This is when I started having him do all my repair work. He has was always quick with a joke and a "now what´s wrong". My condolences go out to all his family and he will truly be missed.
