Rich moved to Colorado from Philadelphia in 1970 and wasted no time finding the woman of his dreams. He married his wife early on in life and never looked back. During 46 years of companionship Rich was a devoted husband, a loving father and an inspiration to everyone he met. Rich was not just a wonderful father to his children but was always willing to open his heart and home to others and be the shoulder to lean on. Rich’s passion for helping others existed right up until the end where he volunteered his time with the National Pancreatic Cancer Foundation and was the inspirational voice for others in times of need. Rich’s sense of humor, knack for sarcasm, and his laugh will be greatly missed.
Rich is survived by his wife, Brenda, three children, Sarah, Spencer and Erin, four grandchildren, sister and brother. A Celebration of Life will be February 10th, 2017 in Grand Lake Colorado at the Stillwater Grill at 2pm. In lieu of flowers, the family appreciates donations to the National Pancreatic Cancer Foundation in Rich’s honor via the website www.npcf.us/loving-memory-rich-graff/
