Our thoughts and prayers are with Rich's entire family- (and the Fetzers!) Rich was always good to us and very inviting when we would see him. We both worked with him at the phone company and was just an amazing person.
As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
