    I remember Rich from a long time ago. He started his own form business & our company was one of his loyal customers. He always went out of his way to satisfy his customers. I forgot which company I was working at the time (either Northrop or Mammoth Mart). I'm sorry I can't make the funeral, but Rich will be in my prayers.
