One of the best Secret Service agents ever. I could not have asked for a better person to break me in as a new agent in 1975. I think of him often and just found out about his passing. My prayers to the family.

Hi to anonymous folks who attended South Shore with Rich as I did. Would love to hear from you . We also lost Jerry Roeske this year as well.

Rich was my first and only office hero back in 1969-'72 on the Chicago Counterfeit squad. He was honest, ethical, and cared.

Rich,

You were one of the finest agents to step foot in the Chicago Field Office. You were my friend, my mentor, my buddy. The world has lost a wonderful human being and I shall miss you, always. Until we meet again, my friend.

Boys, I am so sorry on the loss of your Dad.

Words can not express the sadness we feel. A chapter in our lives, which began on the first day of high school and continued all these years, has ended. Our lives were enriched for having known you and Sharon. We shall miss you, dear friend, but will never forget the special friendship we shared. Our deepest sympathy to Pat, Dan and Tim along with their families.

Goodbye Rich my neighbor across the street for many years. I enjoyed always talking to you when you were shoveling snow or cutting your grass.
You always made me laugh and I felt like I could talk to you for hours at a time, you were all good. I will miss you very much.
