Rich-

When I worked for you in Manassas, I remember when I first interviewed with you. HR had to come get me because you had so much to talk about. I will always remember how sharp you were with your numbers in our proposal meetings!! You were an inspiration!

You are the most brilliant person I've ever known in dealing with numbers. You constantly amazed me during the year I worked for you... You fought your cancer with remarkable strength and courage and were an inspiration to us all. Thank you for being a caring friend, boss, and mentor. In God's love, Holly
