So sad to hear of your passing Rich you were a good man who deserved much better than you got. I know you are in a much better place, and not in pain anymore. My deepest condolences to your Mom and sister and your true friends in life!

I met Rich (and his, at the time, friend Michele :)) in an online game in 2010 and we hit it off as friends really well. We never got to meet in person but we shared many stories together and he helped me out with many things. Unfortunately now we will never meet. RIP Rich!! You are missed by many!

You will be missed by Mom and myself. Even if we didn't always see eye to eye your were my big brother and I have always loved you. Some day we will see eachother again.

Love you your little sis

I met Rick at the "Kick the Cycle" no more bandaids fundraiser for Adra. Frank Judd a member of Elmhurst had invited a team of singers to assist this weekend experience with good music. Rick was our sound man and did an awesome job as usual. Rick helped out at several other youth events including "Kickin It with Jesus" a youth camp-meeting experience. Miss you & looking for the 2nd coming.

Rick, you left too soon. There were still songs to sing, games to play, and love to give. We miss you.....

My heart is broken, and I miss you more than I can say, Rich. You were such a big presence in my life, loving, challenging me to be better than I was, and helping me grow. You pushed yourself so hard at times, and I would race to keep up. I will never forget when we first met. You and Gene took me to Luna, and you sang love songs to me all night. God keep you tenderly, Rich. I love you.
