I knew most of the Mullins family from growing up with them here in Metamora. The ones that I knew have been great people. I met Rich this year when my wrecked Chrysler got brought to him to checkout, He was a very pleasant and kind man. May he rest in Peace! Gone to soon!

To the entire Mullins Family;
When I read the news That Rich had passed I was saddened. Reading of his love for the game of pool, I know a couple of his older brothers who probably taught him a thing or two about the game. During these extra difficult days, I pray our Lord gives the entire Mullins family the strength to endure!
Sincerely

I met Rich playing pool. Our Moonies Pub girls looked forward to playing his team. We had so much fun and so many laughs those nights. Got to know him better when he discovered Facebook. We had some fun banter back and forth. From just knowing him this short time, I know how much he loved and cherished his wife and family. They were his number one. Your vibrant personality will be missed. My prayers go out to all of his family and friends.
