Deepest sympathy to Rich’s family and close friends.

Sincerest condolences to all. Richard was my friend and I will miss his comments on my art posts. He was always so encouraging. We were connected by music and were in a band together years ago. We remained friends after the band was done. Great guitar player and very talented. I know he is up there rocking out.

Uncle Richy you were an amazing guy. I will always remember the great adventures we shared beach trips, singing with your band letting me drive on the back roads. These will be moments that stay in my heart forever. I’m glad your fight is over and you are able to have peace.
