Rich wrote those words in a scrapbook sixty years ago, not knowing the life that lay ahead of him and how many lives he will have touched by the time he was done.

I’ve always enjoyed visiting and spending time with Uncle Rich and Aunt Ruby growing up, they always knew how to have fun and just chill at the same time.
I’ll always cherish receiving his handwritten letters at Christmas, filled with updates about his life and kind words celebrating my milestones, and I'd sometimes write or email to him back. It was our special way of reconnecting each year.
Our most recent special memories was when Uncle Rich and Mike stayed at our house before heading to Connecticut. We're truly grateful he had the chance to meet our daughter, who was around eight months old at the time. And our dog, Tazo, loved him too! It’s a moment we’ll never forget, and we’ll always remember his warmth, kindness, and the love he shared with all of us.
