My heartiest condolences to all of Rich’s family at his loss. Rich and I met in Germany in 1970 and have been life long friends. I know you will miss him and so shall I. Rest in Peace good buddy.
I had no idea! I hadn’t seen his posts and didn’t know why until now. I am so, so, sorry. To say I am shocked is an understatement. We first met working at Kinkos, but both retired from the Air Force from Barksdale AFB. Rich would always visit me when he made trips back through Louisiana. I cannot believe he is gone. I’m going to miss him.
I too had no idea of his passing til I saw I was tagged on FB by another coworker at Kinkos in Shreveport, LA. Rich was a wonderful man to work with. He had a HUGE heart and always wanted to make sure things were done right. He always made sure that customers were happy and kept that commitment of 110% customer satisfaction. He had such a great sense of humor. I loved many of his posts on FB. I truly enjoyed working with him. My heart breaks for his family & friends. My condolences to all those close to him. He will be missed by many friends. I will miss his posts. Rest In Peace Rich.
My heart goes out to the family of Rich. I’m so sorry for your loss. I just found out he’s no longer with us. I missed so many important post’s on FB around that time due to my 6yr old granddaughter being in the hospital having emergency surgery. I’m feeling very sad. Rich was a friend of mine for 9yrs on FB. We met playing a popular game on FB. We used to chat a lot about funny and serious stuff. He was a great guy to talk to. I’m very sad he’s gone. I will never delete our conversations we’ve had on messenger, I will cherish them as memories. I’m in complete shock. I’m so sorry. ??. RIP Rich! ?
My friend here in OZ was wondering what happened to Rich , now I will be sorry to tell her about his passing , my condolences lily
