My condolences on the passing of Rich. May God give you all the strength you will need in the days to come. I have a lot of memories with Rich from being married to Susan, to starting their family of three children, Jessica, Robbie and Angela. All hanging around in the Manor right to the keg parties as young adults on Black Ash in the field.
Heaven must have needed another Angel. R.I.P Rich and soar with the Angels.
