My condolences to Rich´s family. Worked with Rich at the brewery. A very pleasant guy whom I enjoyed having a conversation with. I always admired his common sense approach to things. Again, my sincere sympathies to his family.

I worked at the Brewery with Richie, nicest guy, a real gentleman! He was a hard worker and always willing to lend a hand, especially to a youngster, now 71. Richie and his fellow New Yorkers always kept us youngsters laughing with plenty of good stories to be told! So sorry for your loss.
