Just learned that my childhood friend passed. Rich was a good spirit. My best to the family. Found this picture of Rich, sometime in the mid 1980's this was taken. We used to go canoeing on lakes all kinds of adventures early on there. He was always smiling.

Rich was one of my neighbors when I was growing up - he was one of the sweetest people in our area! He was always telling us jokes, if we were outside in the summer having water gun fights he would join in with us. Rich is going to be by all who knew him. My thoughts, prayers, love and condolences are with Elizabeth and the rest of Rich's family during this time.
