So sad to hear about Rich passing. I worked with him for 12 years all through the 80's. We had so much fun through those years. He was so funny and could lift your day if you were down. Many great memories from the past.. Even worked with his son Jeff for a couple of years. What a great family and my deepest condolences to all of them.

Marge, Jeff, Jenny and Families, I met Rich when he and Marge were first dating in high school. Right from the start, I knew that he was the right guy for my sister. Rich was a great guy who loved life, had a twinkle in his eye, enjoyed life, and was generous and kind. He always bragged about Marge and her accomplishments---just that kind of guy, always complimenting others. Marge and Rich invited me to join them on their trip to Northern Spain, and I had a great time over there. May you rest in peace, Rich. Dorothy

When I moved to Itasca, Rich was the first person to share garden flowers with me. I recall one extremely hot day when he dug up flowers for me to transplant to my yard. Little did I know then that he motivated my interest in flowers & gardening, this has now become my passion. He gave Marge a fabulous 50's - 60's graduation party. All the neighbors dressed in period clothing & a fabulous time was had by all. Rest in peace Rich, you'll be in my prayers.

Dear Marge, Jeff, Jenny, and families ~ What a wonderful guy we were blessed with in cousin Richie. I’m going to miss his phone calls. He was the best at keeping in touch. Rich & Marge were so instrumental in hosting gatherings and reunions that made our family strong today. So many great memories! We are so blessed. RIP dear Rich. ❤️

We have many fond memories of Rich, especially the times we spent on the park lawn listening to music etc. Many (too many) years ago to recall all the details. I can tell you Aunt Kay and Uncle Rog spoke of Rich regularly when they were staying with us. Rich was just that kind of guy, that everyone we know liked him and had nothing but fun memories of being around him. We will miss his regular "check in" calls to keep us informed of family events. We could always count on him to keep us straight and up to date on the cousins side. To digress even a bit further, who didn't love his mother. Dear Aunt Peg, may she rest in peace. Way to many memories to go down that road. Her most infamous instructions on how to make a proper martini. Love and miss you all. Wish we could join you on Saturday, but just not possible.
