With enormous gratitude, I am sending my condolences to Barbara, Kim, Tony and their families.
Rich, Barb, Kim and Tony welcomed me into their lives with grace, love and patience!
I had great times and learned countless important life lessons from Rich and Barb, such as: compassion, responsibility and resiliency at their sanctuary home on Lake 26 and in Bloomington!!
Barb, for those loving acts of generosity, I am forever grateful!!!

Ritchie was a true friend. He definitely loved his dogs.He loved his family and friends, and he liked hunting birds. He was always smiling and generous and fun to be around.
He loved to golf. I miss you, Rich.
One thing that sticks with me that he would say to me is "nobody has more fun than people" he was a true character. I Pray for comfort for Barb, Kim, Tony, and the rest of his family..
