I am truly heartbroken to loose my friend Rich. I will miss going out to dinner, playing golf, and just getting together with him. He was one of a kind. I hope to see you again. Prayers to the family and friends.

So sorry to hear of Rich’s passing. He was a wonderful coach to all four of my children, who learned to love the sport of swimming.. he was also a great coach for swimming parents ! Although we left Clarksburg a few years ago, Rich always had a special place in my “ village” that helped raise my children. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Pat, Hilary, Sarah, Hannah, Patrick and Rebecca Galey.

I was so sad to hear about Rich. He will always have a special place in my heart. His involvement with all of the numerous swimmers in this area Including my son, certainly made an impact on the successes of BHS swimming. He was one of the veteran parents of the team. I will always remember and be grateful for his concern and prayers when Andrew fought his battle with cancer. I will also miss his smile when I would see him in church. I will have you and the girls in my prayers. Jan Grisso

Ruth Ann, I had no idea that Rich was going through all of this. I can't tell you how sorry I am. I don't know your cell phone no., but I will find it. I do want to talk with you, my cousin. I'm so glad that you have your mom and your girls. Please know that even though we don't see each other as often as we should, I still love you....you are my family. With my love, Evelyn Anne
