Rich and I were pretty good friends and I had the chance to work with him way back in the day and even did some jobs for him not to long ago....to hear of his passing, to say the least, was a shock to me. My heartfelt sympathy to his family. He will not be forgotten. If anything is needed, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do my best to help you out.

I am so sorry to hear of your unexpected loss. I''ve always considered Richie to be more than an acquaintance and I''ll surely miss his wit and his quick mind. I always enjoyed his company and I want you to know that I share in your grief.
