Oh so many wonderful memories of my Uncle Rich. He had a wonderful sense of humor and the stories he would tell when all three brothers would get together would leave me in stitches. You will be greatly missed. To my Aunt and cousins, my heart aches for you during this time. May time ease your pain and fond memories lighten your days ahead With love – Kim

Uncle Rich was always fun to be around, always made us laugh. I was the lucky nephew, the oldest, and got to spend a lot of time with him when I was a kid. He made sure I got to see Indians games every year, Browns games, Cavaliers games. We kids loved when we got to visit, there was always a bottle of pop around the corner. He loved us and we loved him!
I first met Rich in December of 72. My mom was the cleaning lady and introduced me to him. He got me hired and I worked weekends and summers through college then full time until 1978. He was a great guy and fun to be around. I am so sorry for your loss.
