George Rich Obituary

Dearest Rich Family,
George went quickly from being an eye specialist to a friend, along with Marilyn and of course Nikki. I'm shocked to learn of your loss, and want you all to know how much he meant to me over the years. I treasure my many memories, and hope your memories are of comfort to you,
With love,
Karen Kass

We never doubted that we were in good hands as patients of Dr. Rich but reading his obituary only confirmed it. He was a caring and excellent Dr. to our family.
Sincerely

I send my condolences to all of you. George was my eye doctor, as well as for my children, for many, many years. I participated in most of the studies for contact lenses. The block on St. Johns has never been the same. I wish you all comfort in the future and good memories.
With love, Joyce Kamen

Mrs Rich, Alan, Robbie, and Nikki,
When I read of Dr. Rich's passing this morning, I was so saddened. He was such a wonderful man and doctor to our family. He helped Mom so many times with contacts and clinical studies when she was unable to afford them. He was a kind man to our father, when our father had his stroke. Dr. Rich would always help my mom, lifting my dad up the stairs when they had the house in Lincolnwood. I know that both of you, Marilyn and George, were wonderful neighbors and friends to my parents. We loved George and are saddened by his loss. We send you strength during this difficult time as we know the loss of not only a parent, but a best friend.
Love, Mary Beth Platt and family(Jeff, Lindsey and Evan Crum)

Our deepest sympathy to the Family of our favorite Eye Doctor, Dr. Rich will be remembered as a gifted physician and a wonderful human being. My brother Bill, and I started with him when I was just 13 years old, and for more than 20 years my family and I enjoyed his expertise and his friendship. He was so very proud of his family and spoke adoringly of all.

My deepest sympathy to Marilyn and children. George was a wonderful man and dear friend to me for many years. I hope that my phone calls to him in Florida brightened up just a little part of his day. I will miss him and miss not talking to him. Eternal rest to you, George!!!
