Condolences to your family. Rich was one of the hardest working fathers within the Timonium/ Lutherville community. I was not only coached by Rich and played with Ricky. I had the pleasure of competing with him as a young adult Tuesday nights at Timonium Elementary. Highly skilled and a constant competitor. My wife and I periodically still speak about the snowball stand Barb ran. Happy to hear they are together again. They will be missed.
