I was on vacation for last 5 weeks and heard the news just today.
It was a shock to hear the news.
I worked with Rich for many years.
I always respected his ideas and his professionalism. He was always cheerful and a pleasure to be around. He always treated everyone with respect. His soul is in my prayers during this transition. His sudden death shocks me and I extent my sincere sympathy to his family and friends.

My good friend Rich, after 30 years its going to be strange not to see that face and knowing smile. Someone you could count on to be himself and a great person. BlueCross will never be the same without Rich; I miss him already.
Continued prayers and blessings to the family always.......

I am deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Rich. It will be difficult to come to work everyday and not see him at all the usual places that we would cross paths. Many times he was the first person I would see in the morning walking into the building, and those became good days because of his wonderful attitude. There is nothing that I can say that will make this any easier but, take comfort in the fact that he has truly touched and left a mark on so many lives.

To the DeSio Family,
Sorry for your loss. I knew Rich for a relatively short time, but long enough to aquaint myself with him and his saucy/no frils approach to work. He was very respected by me, and many others.
