Pat, so sorry to hear that Rich lost his battle. I remember our many Kiwanis lunches and our more recent lunches together. Since I lost my wife on 2/24, I have some idea of what you bare going through. May he rest in peace. Be safe and well.
Pat and Jeff, we are so sorry to hear about Rich. He was a great man and a wonderful grandfather for Annabelle. He also had a smile on his face. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
I had the pleasure of working with Rich during the 80’s and 90’s. He was a great lawyer, a kind human being, and we would always chat about his family. He will be missed by so many. Praying for comfort for his family and friends.
Pat,
I am so sorry for your loss. Always enjoyed trivia with you both. You and your family are in my prayers.
Pat, we are very sorry for your loss, Richard was a special person. Richard was our cousin on his Mom’s side.
