I will always remember Rich as the guy who could make everyone laugh. His clever wit and gently soul will be greatly missed! Posted by Tiffani Danielson Cain - Prattville, AL - Friend Heelan Classmate April 12, 2014
I remember Rich as someone who could bring a smile or witty comment to the conversation. He will be missed. Posted by Amy Calhoun - Lincoln, NE - Classmate - 1992 April 12, 2014
I'd like Rich's family to know that in addition to his legendary wit, which is noted in so many of his friends' messages, Rich also had a loyal streak a mile wide. Though logical and analytical in his professional life, with his friends he was empathetic to a fault. He may have presented a witty, sarcastic face to the world at times, but within I know he was tremendously sensitive. Despite his professional contact with some of life's less-than-savory elements, I knew him to be willing to believe the best of people. He was fascinated by people -- their quirks and peculiarities. He loved the absurd. he loved his dog, Scout. He loved his niece. He loved what he loved. He expressed himself beautifully and brutally. He was tenacious and never more so than when he was being kind. Relentlessly kind and empathetic. Odd, sweet and dear. What a tremendous loss, and my heart truly bleeds for you, his dear family.

Rich was a lively member of our online running team. We never had the pleasure of breaking bread together, but if he lived his life half as intensively as he digitally bantered, he would have been a joy to be with. Sincerest condolences to his family.

I am utterly speechless today after hearing the news from Kurt. We had so many good times in our apartment together, and a few sad ones, ones which I will cherish to remember you by. You were always impartial, and I guess that's why you became an attorney, and a GREAT one at that. Even though I tried to touch base with you over the years, I apologize for not being there for you during these tough times. At least I know now that whatever pain was ailing you is no longer there, you've moved on and are at peace. I will miss you dearly.
