Rich was a cousin who we re-connected with after moving to Arizona & in 2003 started coming back to Buffalo for the summer months. Food was a particular get-together & in addition to old favorites he introduced us to new-to-us restaurants in the area he thought we might like. He also joined our weekly family pinochle game when we needed a sub. He was a great guy! My Deepest Sympathy to Stephen & his Family. Dorothy (Sambora) Heaslip, Sun City, Arizona February 5, 2026
