    Denise, we are so sorry for your loss. Rich was a great guy..I remember the last time I saw Rich. We were bowling just before his surgery. I went up and put my hand on his shoulder and told him good luck and we were praying for him. He said thanks and that he would be back in two weeks. We really miss him. If there is anything you need, please do not hesitate to ask us.
    Love and prayers,
    Doug and Valerie
