Rich, thank you for being a great pen pal! Your cards and letters were the highlight of my day.
Your caring and kind spirit will live on in your beautiful boy Kojack. You may not have changed the world but you changed HIS world and in the end that's all that really matters.
xoxo to Kojack and your family

Rich was such a good and kind man. I loved reading his notes and cards and his stories about Kojack. May you be rejoicing at the Rainbow Bridge, showering your love upon all the pups in need of someone just like you.

our sympathy on the loss of your brother, uncle...Richie was such a good man; always trying to help others. He had a radiant smile, which seemed to help release tensions of others. He worked to help others; a Salvation Army worker during the holidays (last 5 years, I believe). May his soul rest in peace.

I'm so sorry to learn the news of Rich's passing. Godspeed to you and rest in peace. My condolances to the family. Poor Kojack....the luckiest dog in the world. Rich and you saved each other. My most memorable rescue.
