I am so sorry for your loss. Rich was one of the most wonderful people I've ever met in my life. He only visited my company about once a month, but for one day every single month, I truly enjoyed that day more than any other. It was because I got to see Rich. I will miss his friendship for the rest of my life. I was on vacation for nearly 3 weeks and heard of his passing when I returned. I thank God for Rich and people like him. He was so fun to talk to. For 6 years I looked forward to his every visit. We always shared funny stories of our families and experiences in life. There was no doubt for me that he was a special part of a special group of people. He really touched my heart. God Bless you all! Joey Stuart, Wireman, Central Electric/AZZ Fulton, Missouri. Contact me anytime at 573-220-4046.

AS a friend and neighbor, the loss of RIch has been felt by us deeply. We always admired his love and dedication to his wife, children and grand kids. He even took a liking to our little ones as well, which is why we'd drop them off with him occasionally as my wife and I would escape for an ADULT dinner. For all of the home improvement advice I would come to him with, which later just translated to Rich pulling out the tools and doing the work for me.
We miss you, our kids miss you and the house misses you.
