To Richard's family,
Richard was a great person to be around. He was a fellow hard hitter in pool. I willl him and his game in pool. I remember him always lighting up his cigars. I'm very sorry for your loss. You have my condolences and prayers. I am glad to have met him.

I first met Rich in 2004 in Madison, Wisconsin. Both of us were working at the same company and were away from our families. We worked together on and off for the next 11 years. Rich was extremely competent and we worked through many problems together. After work we occasionally shared dinners and stories, and we became friends as well as colleagues. Rich had such an outgoing personality and I was always uplifted whenever I was around him. My prayers are for Rich and his family. Rich will be missed!
