Rich was amazing in so many ways. I was fortunate to call him a friend in this life, and even more fortunate to have had the experience of making music with him. He was not only one of the most gifted musicians I have ever heard, but one of the kindest souls to have graced this planet ever. He took humanity's foibles with grace and humor. He went on to become a devoted husband and father. His passing was far too sudden to comprehend. For those of us left behind trying to make sense of it, I leave you with his own words, written after his stepfather passed away -
All things must return to imagined dreams of dust.
