My heart felt thanks to all who have responded to this thread. And a special thanks to Ted for reposting the photo above so those that didn't know him can see him. Like Mitch said it was such a thrill to see Rich again at Sar in 2019. Although I talked with him often I hadn't seen him in over 30 yrs. Rich was one of the kindest men I have ever met. He was always willing to give of his time to help those who reached out to him. He was kind enough to share his 4 number system with all of us. He was a calming force in stormy seas. I'm going to miss our daily 4 hr Skype sessions working races. He maybe gone, but like Bill V, he will never be forgotten. I can picture Doc and the Hat at the pearly gates welcoming him home RIP my dear friend.
Tim
