We are planning our service for Rich at DFW Memorial Cemetery on Friday May 9, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. We would love for all who knew Rich to join us to celebrate a life well lived . Through the 78 years of his life he battled bouts of colon cancer and stomach cancer, the last of which his Lord spoke to him saying Rich, you have been a true warrior in this battle but I see pain , suffering and many tearful nights, your suffering is now over, “ I go to prepare a place for you”. ( John 14.2)
