So sorry to hear of Rich’s passing. He was a good friend during our high school years and a solid athlete in football and
baseball, and proved his prowess playing football for the Purdue Boilermakers. I remember that grin, that laugh, and that smile he always seem to have on his face. He was truly a standout on and off the playing fields. And to his wife Marlene and family, I offer my condolences. You are in my prayers.
I grew up with Rich from 4th grade through our graduation from high school, and we attended the same church. He was a fine person in every respect. Rich was friendly to everyone and consistently kind and respectful. My husband and I appreciate the privilege of knowing Rich most of our lives.
We extend our sympathy and prayers to Marlene and the family.
