My childhood would have never been the same without Rich in it. From the All in the Family type jokes to the infamous nickname he gave me. The food challenges and just allowing me to be part of the family. I always felt included by Marcia and Rich. Rich was a man of few words but he was a man I will never forget. To Marcia and my cousins all my love and support during this time.
I´ve known Rich since high school. We were drafted into the army together, along with 12 to 14 others from our neighborhood, and went through basic training together. After serving in the US Army we would get together every five years after January 7, 196

I’ve known Rich since high school. We were drafted into the service together, along with 12 to 14 others from our neighborhood, and went through basic training together.
After serving in the US Army together we would get together every five years after January 7, 1966, the date we were drafted, and January 5, 1968 the day we were discharged, for an anniversary reunion with the guys we were drafted with. We would tell stories and share our memories.
Rich was a great guy.
No, Rich will not be forgotten.
Until we meet again,
