Our deepest condolences for the loss of Rich. A true friend for 40 years we grieve along with the family. A friend like Rich comes along once in a lifetime if you are lucky enough to ever have a friend like him. Always willing to help anyone in need in whatever way he could. I fondly remember him "teaching" our children how to work on their cars. My fishing buddy. Although we never got to make our Florida fishing trip together you will be with us in spirit whenever we "wet a line". We miss you buddy and always will. Ken & Denise & family.
