I have known Rich all my life. We grew up only blocks away from each other in Chicago and I have so many fond memories, mostly enjoying our hot cars together during the muscle era of cars. We have kept our friendship strong all these years including a visit to northern Michigan each summer or fall.
I will miss you my old friend, but I know where you are now.
