I was so sorry to read that Rich passed.
I had the pleasure of working with Rich when he worked in the University of Illinois at Chicago's HR Office and I was president of the Staff Advisory Council. At that point in time, my last name was Coleman. Rich was always a person who could be counted on to give a straight answer and thoughtful advice, whether it had to do with the Staff Advisory Council or advice regarding life. Rich will be sorely missed.
Please know, the family are in my thoughts.
