Well what they say about Red Heads is so true!  From the time Rich was a little boy he was creating havoc.  He about drove my mom and I crazy most days with his unending energy and willingness to try to iritate everyone in his way.  He had a mind of his own and new what he wanted all the time.  I remember many days when we were kids my mom chasing him around the kitchen table.  He may have been a spitball of fire...but he was a great brother, but even more so an amazing friend.  For his friends were his life..He loved them beyond all belief.  Joey, Meme, Shannon, and the love of his life Bonnie, I will forever be grateful to you for the amazing friendships you gave my brother during his lifetime!  Some of the most special things about Rich are his smile and the way he loved people!  He was always so funny with his little sayings "it may be small but its flawless" or the silly sounds and facial expressions he would make...I hope the one thing I never forget is his smile!  Love you little brother!  It is with great pleasure that celebrate his life today with you knowing that he accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior prior to passing and that he is at home with the Lord, looking down on us and smiling!  We will never forget you little brother...And that great big heart of yours~until we meet again in Heaven!
