Rich was many things to many people - a devoted husband, a caring father, and a beloved friend. Above all, he was a man who appreciated the importance of building relationships and helping others. If there was a project to be completed or a challenge to be overcome, Rich would be the first to lend a hand. If he had a skill that would benefit you, he was happy to come out and help out.
One of our fondest memories of Rich is from when he did the bodywork and painted our 1963 VW bug. With a meticulous eye for detail and a tireless work ethic, he transformed that aging relic into a masterpiece. And when we drove it down the street for the first time, the gleaming paint and smooth lines made it impossible not to feel a deep sense of appreciation for the man who made it possible.
Rich's love for cars was unrivaled. His collection spanned 72 unique and cherished vehicles throughout his lifetime - each one representing a different step on his remarkable journey. From classic sports cars to reliable family ones, Rich's love for each of his cars demonstrated that there was more than just steel, rubber, and glass that came together to form their unique bond.
Through his passions, he forged connections and built a network of like-minded individuals who shared his love for cars. In turn, many of these friendships would last a lifetime. And as we gather here today to celebrate his life, it is only fitting that we honor Rich by remembering those connections.
As we say goodbye to Rich, we also say thank you. Thank you for showing us what it means to live a life of service and generosity. Thank you for brightening our days with your infectious smile and unwavering optimism. And thank you for leaving an indelible mark on our hearts that will continue to inspire us for generations to come.
Our lives will undoubtedly be emptier without Rich, but his legacy of compassion and kinship will continue to thrive in the hearts and minds of those who knew him. While our hearts are heavy with the weight of his absence, we are immensely grateful for the time we had with him and the memories we will cherish forever.
In closing, let us remember that Rich's spirit lives on in each and everyone one of us. His selfless acts of kindness, dedication to his family and friends, and unwavering love for life will never be forgotten, as long as we continue to honor and cherish the legacy he left behind.
Rest in peace, dear Rich. You will be missed, but your spirit will continue to inspire us for all eternity.
