It was such a blessing to know Rich. Denise and I (the twins) will treasure our memories of him as we grew up watching Patty & him date, fall in love and build their family. He was a great man-full of energy as he played family frisbie in the street. If you washed a car with him.. you were bound to get suds on you! A mentor who I will always be grateful too. My deepest heartfelt sympathy to all. May God carry you in your difficult times, God Bless. Debra (Taylor) Bogumill, Dennis & Haley
