Rich passed away on New Year's Eve, leaving family and friends with many fond memories. Rich’s outgoing and generous personality has left a hole in our hearts. Rich loved to fish and spent many trips with his dad at Thistle Creek. Rich was very talented and smart, in school he let his closest friends copy his papers so they could get good grades. Rich was extremely fast, he played varsity football and broke records on the track team. Rich was a great Uncle to Chase, Kyle and Ryan and attended numerous sporting activities for them, it didn’t matter if it was baseball, football, or basketball. He made sure the Refs knew he was there to make sure they made the right calls! He was even asked to leave a few games.

Rich loved his brothers, Bob, and Chris, and they were always there to help each other out. Rich and Chris had a couple good buddies that would play football in the big grass field next to their house, needless to say, Rich was always picked first by the better athletes.

We would like to thank all the Fireman, Policeman, Doctors, and Nurses for your help and anyone who took the time to have conversations with Rich. He will be greatly missed by his father, son, brothers, nieces, nephews, and lifelong buddies. A celebration of life for Rich will be at a later date.
