I met Rich in 1999 toward the beginning of October.. I thought ,"Gee, here's a very genuine ,outgoing, gregarious, fellow "..He had sort of rough edges on his personality,  not a frail person by any means,but the more I saw of him the more I liked him..He certainly appeared like a jock..Well built , seemed solid as a rock, & becoming very endearing to me.. We became ever so close thru the years..There was always humor between us two..A number of times~ being in a movie theater ,people would ask us to either shut up or move to other seating : ) we were laughing so hard..OOPS..The man may have been a tad older than myself or a bit moreso, but he acted more like he was in his 50's to me even his last months ! He was as genuine as the days are long, a True Patriot as we talked so much about the government.: ( or total lack of..Because he wasn't a dainty man,Lol ,once he walked right though my new screen door at my new townhouse;..which was OK, as I always forgave him..Dancing however, was a different story ,Lol..Oh Richard ,my love, you are already so missed ,but we know, we all know you gotta be at Peace now & in a great place ! ..Lovingly..Jan W.
