My heart goes out to Rich’s family. He was always lending a hand to someone and seemed to enjoy doing it. Now that he has taken the hand of God, he will be missed.
I miss you pops.
I’m so sorry to hear about Richs passing I have known him my entire life. Rich had a heart of gold and was always ready to lend a hand or let me borrow a trailer.
When I had question I could always ask Rich and sure enough he had an answer We would run into each other often and he would always have a smile on his face and a joke to tell. He will be missed by many..
A great person to know, made himself always there to help you, he will be missed.
I’m sorry to hear of Popz passing.
I met Rich many years ago and although our lives took different paths I always got a welcoming hug and how ya doin girl.
He was known by everyone one. I swear you could say Rich and you would hear Marshall coming from somewhere near. Lol.
Scott, you and Popz were 2 of a kind. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish you didn’t have to go through loosing another parent but know Popz will forever be looking over your shoulder. Lots of hugs!!!
