Rich saved my life. when I phoned him about a carbon monoxide detector (my doctor told me carbon monoxide was found in my blood when I went to the ER the day before), Rich said he would hold the device for a friend to pick up, but he said he would not let me off the phone until I promised to call PSEG. He said my blood was the detector. He was right. It was an emergency, but I was not aware of it.
