To Mary Jane and the rest of the Nogal Family:



Rich was truly a "gentle"-man; always quick to offer support and a helping hand to those in need, or a witty insight, joke or story to friends.



We shall always cherish our memories of the times we spent together working and having fun. Please know that you and Rich are in our prayers.

In the 1970’s , I worked at Camel Sales/Youngstown Steel Door as "Mr. Nogal's" secretary. It has been many years, but I have heard so many positive things and how active he was in the community. He was very committed to his family and community. I just wanted to express my condolences to the Nogal family. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
