Another friend from the naval history world offering sincere condolences:
Rich was such a fixture among us for so long, it is hard to accept that he has left us. I have no doubt that he got the proper promotion to move upstairs. A good man ..... he will be missed.

As a long time member of the naval community which "Big Rich" as he was known frequented, well over 20 years now, we'll miss his contributions. Certainly now Big Rich is on the eternal calm sea and prosperous voyage in the company of the saints on the heavenly sea.

Rich was an online friend of mine for years. He was always willing to take time to talk over anything, and his kindness will be sorely missed. His knowledge regarding Naval matters was impressive, and his passing has left a hole in our small community. Fair Winds and Following Seas to you old friend.
