When I heard about Rich’s passing, it hit me very hard. He was my dear friend. He was funny. He was silly. He was a joker. He made me laugh. At Panera, he was the entertainment and was known as the man of a thousand voices. He always drew a big crowd. When I went there Saturday, it seemed empty without him. He will be missed by all his friends, and there were many.

Beth Morris DiPerna I am going to miss Betherooo!! This is Ricardo Blanco!!! on the other end of the phone..RIP Ricardo…
Nan Bero Oh, so sorry to hear this! Thinking of his family!
Darlene Wade Swinger This breaks my heart. Rich was a fun loving guy and such a jokester, always making me laugh at his stories, especially if it’s was a “true story” Rich will be missed. 😢

Sue Slater Stanley So saddened to hear this news about Rich! He was a great guy! May he RIP
Sue Ramnath My condolences, Wendy
Marian Walters So sorry to hear of this. Prayers for his family.
Kathy Dewberry So sad – I can still picture him walking around Zurich dropping off policy requirements and talking to everyone!!!
June Howard – Thank you for sharing. You are right on, he was part of the family, such a nice guy.
Rita Lovelace – So sorry to hear about Rich.
Mark Skidmore – He was quite a character and a super nice guy. Sorry to hear. I was “assigned” to him as a new underwriter. He would walk in his requirements. And I would go over files with him. Like 1999. It was a different time for sure.
Janet Pecararo – Oh my gosh! I’m so sad to hear this. We had a long history from the Zurich days. There were days that were trying, but he was always very good to me. It was nice to reconnect with him when he moved in to the same office building we were in before we moved 2 years ago. He would always stop by for a visit and bring a smile to my face. What a shame. I’m sure he will be missed by many.
Thanks for sharing the news.
Lisa Link – Such sad news! Rich was a very kind man, a devoted husband and father.
Dawn Hansen – So sad to hear. He was a wonderful man.

These are just a few of the well wishes shared about Rich when the news of his passing were posted. I’ll post separate photos of the dinners he shared with all off us after Protective Life bought out Chase Life. I’ll post more as received – my condolences to the whole family – but know we loved him and considered Rich to be a true friend!
