Rich joined the United States Air Force after graduating high school and served his entire career in Communications until being honorably discharged on 9/30/2002.

Family and friends want to thank him for his service and dedication to our country.


Rich was a devoted father and continuously praised his daughters in every aspect. He was somewhat of a prankster and loved a good laugh. Rich had the kindest sweetest heart which reflected in all that he did. He learned to play the guitar, starred in a few plays, and sang in the choir. He loved watching the Houston Texans and Roughnecks football as well as auto racing. He traveled to many different countries all over the world and just loved life.
