Condolences to Meredith, Barbara, Chris & Kristina. I’m so sorry for your loss. I wanted to say thank you Rich for allowing me to be a part of your life. We didn’t make it as a married couple but as friends, we found our way. The world has lost a gentile soul with a shining personality that lit up any room. You would give the shirt off of your back to anyone. Your smile was contagious. Rest easy my friend, you will be greatly missed.
Prayers ????
