"MY DAD"
By Richard Golz Jr
(age 12)
My dad is always there for me, doing what he knows is right
Breaking up a fight, or helping someone out
He always knows what is right, day or night
He walks up to people in trouble, and helps them on the double
Donating to the poor, or going to the store to shop for my grandma
Yes, he always does what's good for everyone
He's considerate, and that's why I love him, my dad.

Rich was the kindest and gentlest of friends. We shared a lot in this life and I was so happy that he was SO happy. He has always had a part of my heart and will continue to. Christi, Claire, Richie and Jack, you are all in my prayers, and will continue to be. I am bereft.

Words can not be exressed on how truly sorry we feel for all of you. To lose the love of your life of almost 30 years and your sons best friend is unimaginable. He was a kind and special man. A man who made sure family was the most important thing and it showed whenever he spent time with his boys. We will be here whenever you need comforting and a shoulder to cry on. Our love and prayers.

My heart is heavy for my dear and loving friend Christi and her beloved boys Richie and Jack. Richard was a great neighbor for so many years who quietly would always be there if you ever needed him. I so enjoyed watching him interact with his boys always swinging a golf club with them, teaching them, playing catch, on snow days when his driveway was being plowed he would always run out and ask them to pile up the snow in the front of their home so the boys could make their famous forts and always racing off to drive the boys some where. It wasn't hard to see how much he adored and loved his family. I can not imagine how they must feel at his sudden passing and no words will ever be able to express on how bad we all feel. Take comfort in knowing Richard will always love you and will always remain in your heart. Christi, my loving friend, I am here for you and I feel your pain. I love you all.

His life was gentle, and the elements so mixed in him that nature might stand up to all the world and say, "This was a man!"
Richie- I never had a better friend. God Bless you and keep you.
