Rich you will be missed. You were always fun to bowl with and the times we just sat a talked will always be a special memory. I always told you that you bowled with the wrong hand and you would laugh. You are a true friend, I raise a glass in your honor ( yes Coors Light ).
You will be missed.

I met Rich when I first moved to Denver in early 2005. We were quick to become friends as we worked for the same company. We then split season tickets for the Bronco's for a couple of years. We bowled several leagues together.. one on the same team, and the other on competing teams. R.I.P. I miss having beers with you my friend!!!

Even though I only knew Rich for a short time, he will leave his spirit with all that knew him. He lived his life how he wanted and showed such strength to recover from very difficult months and illness. His smile will live forever and we will have a beer for Rich as I'm pretty sure that would be his wish.

There is a miracle called Friendship that dwells within the heart and you don't know how it happens or when it even starts. But the happiness it brings you always gives a special lift and you realize that Friendship is God's most precious gift. Rich, Thank you for your friendship. You will be in my heart forever. xoxo

I met Rich several years ago on a bowling league. Since then I had the pleasure of being his friend and we also worked together. I can say to everyone that Rich was in a good place when he passed. Although his physical and mental abilities were slightly diminished, his spirits were high. Special thanks to Ed and Dayton for all their help. Breath easy now Rich.
