To my Best Friend and Better than a Brother . I’ve played , worked and loved with you for 55 great years ! I can’t think of anything we haven’t done together, putting in 83 eight foot sections of posts and fencing , the sod for your lawn ( after you fired the landscaper ) on Fathers Day in the pouring rain; finishing our basements ; planting Arborvitae bushes ( again in the rain ) . Fishing with you was always fun until you became known as “ pukie “. We always celebrated all the good and sad timed together. Today is one of those days and I’ll end by saying , I love you more . I’ll never forget you or your beautiful family ……….

Rich, my heart is with you. I can’t imagine the weight you’re carrying right now, losing such an incredible man. Your father wasn’t just the head of your family, he was the heart of it. The love, the lessons, the strength he passed down are so clearly seen in you, your family, and especially in your kids, who adored him. He built something lasting and powerful, and that will never fade.

Please know you’re not alone. Everyone who knew your dad, and everyone who loves you, is holding you in their hearts. I’m here for anything you need, whether it’s a quiet moment, a memory shared, or just someone to talk with you. He leaves behind a beautiful legacy, and I know he was so proud of you. I wish I could be with you during your time of need. Love you brother.

Aunt Grace, Rich, Marie and Jonathan. Sending sincere condolences and love out to all of you during this difficult time. Uncle Richard was a great example of what a strong, hard working and loving family man should be. May he rest with God and may all of you find solace and strength at this time as you mourn his passing and celebrate his life and legacy.

Uncle Richard, you will be missed by all who knew you. You were the best uncle a niece could ever have. Kind, strong, loving but most of all compassionate. I love you.

Uncle Richard, you will truly be missed. You were the best Uncle to me and my sisters. You always had a strong presence within you. A compassionate human being that loved his family to the fullest.
Love,
Gina

Rich and family.

You will be surly missed just love Richie always in my heart

Condolences to Grace and the family. Rich was a big part of Alan’s small group Bible study and Grace was also part of Beth’s small group. Rich reached out to us when either of us were sick and he would like to remind us that God is in control. We will miss Rich, God bless Grace and her family.
