Dear Ann, Jason, Jon and families,
I was so lucky to get to know your mother and dad.  Out deep Pittsburgh roots contributed to our immediate friendship. Our mutual love of the Steelers and Oakmont C C were the basis of many conversations. Your dad and I enjoyed many rounds of golf at Clinton C C, and maybe an adult beverage or two. This picture is me with my 17 month old granddaughter. She pulled her favorite book from the coffee table and motioned me to read it to her. As you know, this is your mother’s second children’s book. Ann as you know, I texted this picture to Rich and you, to let him know he was in our thoughts. I was shocked the next morning when the call came that he passed. So proud to call your mom and dad our friends. They were special people who will be sorely missed. Happy they are reunited. May they RIP.
Warm regards
Brian and Sue McGlone

Dear Ann & Family,

I was so very sorry to hear about your Dad.  He was such a kind and special man.  I enjoyed talking with him whenever he came into the church office.  He spoke so lovingly and was so very proud of his grandchildren!  Please know that he, and your family, are in our prayers.   He will be missed!
Peace & blessings,
Sally Genua

You will be forever remembered and missed. Your wisdom will continue to help business leaders to their success. 

Rich was one of the nicest and kindest individuals I have ever known! We spent many hours on the golf course together and we always had a great time, even if the golf wasn't so good. He will truly be missed. 

My wife and I also had the pleasure of getting to know Rich and Jeannie through dinner on several occasions. 

The only consolation from this is that Rich is reunited with the love of his life in heaven.

I knew Rich from Liberty Mutual.  He was a very kind, funny, smart and welcoming.  I was able to connect with him several times after he retired from Liberty.  He clearly enjoyed life and had an amazing journey on this earth.  So sorry for your loss, may he Rest In Peace.

I was honored to know Jeannie and Rich, whom I met when I moved next door to them in Clinton four years ago. Their long and happy marriage was exemplary and their children ‘s constant love for their parents is tremendously impressive. I will miss Rich as I miss Jeannie two years later. He was such a great neighbor — we often met on sunset walks to the beach,  compared gardening notes and shared updates about our children. He was also a good source of borrowed tools for me. His Defender was my dream other car — it always brought me a smile when it chugged by with Rich waving.  It is still very painful to look out my windows and to step outside knowing that he will not be coming back. Rest In Peace, Rich and enjoy being back with your beloved Jeannie. Liz

Life’s journey brings the unexpected.   Meeting Rich in St. Mary’s Church parking lot was an unbelievable and rather humorous story which developed into a friendship for which I am thankful.  He was a gift and our short time knowing each other was memorable and won’t be forgotten.

Rich devoted his career to enhancing leaders ability to positively impact others and create lasting legacies.  He personified the best in what leaders need to be and do.  We don't see many like him.  I will be forever grateful for his friendship and the personal impact he had on me.  
Sending sincerest condolences to his family and all, like myself, who have been touched by his love, wisdom, and caring.
