Grew up with him as a good friend. I remember how jealous I was of him as he rode his Cushman motor scooter and then graduated to his Cushman Eagle.

Many good memories of our high school days, particularly on the basketball court and track field.

My prayers go out to you and your family. Rich will be missed.

Colleen,
I am so sad to hear of Rich's death. Thinking back, I had not seen the two of you since Janelle's wedding--so many years ago. Sincerely, Rosemary (Dumler) Morris

Colleen,
I am so very sorry to hear of Dick's passing. He was truly a wonderful person, and I so enjoyed visiting with him, even if it was "business" related. My dad thought the WORLD of him.
Blessings, Denise (Booker) King
