Family, Friends Please accept my most sincere sympathies and know prayers are with all.
Many years have past since last seeing Rich, we used to work on White Pond Dr. together back in the 80's with Kay & Beula.
Rich was a dear soul, A person who was kind to all.
We would occasionally see each other in Barberton because he would have appointments. It was always a little blessing, seeing an old friend you've not seen in awhile, then as life takes it's different paths we lost contact.
I'm so sorry for your loss, we worked together 8 yrs? I watched him grow over the years the gentleman in Rich was always there as he grew older and developed more into a grown up, he was someone I was proud to know, he was a good person with love in his heart, just at times misunderstood, UNFORTUNATELY.
