Messages of Condolence
My condolences to Uncle Rich’s friends in the business of vintage toys and antiques. He loved being in your community. He sure was a cool dude, i enjoyed fun and edgy (in a good way!) conversations with him.
Uncle Rich died peacefully at Marymount Hospital; I was with him.
A dear friend and a true mentor of mine. Rich’s friendship and his help and teaching was a true gift. I consider him a titan. He was truly one of the greats in his field of toys. I always told Rich to write a book. I can only image the stories he would have told. I am so sad and I am also so honored to have known him and his wife.
I knew that he had his health issues and now he’s with Faith and his suffering has ended.
My heart will always hold a special place for Rich and he’s spirit and his knowledge will be carried by me.
My dear friend RIP and thanks for being in my life.
