One of the many passions Rich had was playing solitaire. It is quite an understatement to say that he simply enjoyed the game – the truth is that he was an avid player, who logged in over 10,000 games of solitaire every year. Rich's love for the game of solitaire was not just about the cards or the competition, but rather a testament to his unfailing determination and a reminder that life, like the game, is unpredictable but can be a rewarding challenge if we remain resilient in our pursuits.
Rich's relationship with his children – my sister and me – was nothing short of remarkable. Our father made a point to talk to us almost daily, sometimes just for a few minutes. Those daily phone calls may have seemed insignificant to some, but to us, they were everything. The simple act of saying "hi" and checking in on our lives instilled a powerful sense of love, friendship, and support. No matter how busy or tiring his day was, he made an effort to indulge us in conversations, forging a unique bond that has shaped us into the individuals we are today.
In his lifetime, Rich exhibited an inspiring approach to life – remaining humble in his achievements and treating every person with love and respect. As we stand here today, reminiscing about the great man that he was, we must also remember to carry his values and principles with us, so that a part of him will forever live on.
As we say our final goodbyes to Rich, let us take solace in the fact that he lived an inspirational life, one that will continue to influence and guide us even in his absence. His life was steeped in humility, overcoming challenges, and nurturing deep connections, all of which shall forever remain etched in our memories.
In closing, the life of Rich was a testament to the power of determination, love, and humility – and it is my sincere hope that his legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of everyone he touched.
Thank you, Rich, for the invaluable lessons, the laughter, and the love you have given us. Rest easy, knowing that your spirit will forever be a beacon of inspiration and hope for all those who were lucky enough to have known you.
May you rest in peace, dear father.
