It's sad to hear of the passing of an old friend, but it can't compare to the loss his family surely feels. I have many fond memories of growing up with him back on the block. He will be greatly missed. I feel honored to have known him, and hopefully with God willing, someday our paths will cross again.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. Words, however kind,
can't mend your heartache:
but those who care and
share your loss wish you
comfort and peace of mind.
RIP Uncle Rich
