I don't know where to start. And I sure never started a post before. But I didn't know how else to thank you all for everything you did for us. The angel from one of the funeral arrangements is in my flower garden, so I will alway remember what you did for us and what Rich meant to you. You don't know how much you helped me through all this. I'm so glad I got to know so many of you. Each of you have done something special in your own way - being a post, a card, letters, a gift, a phone call, or something else, and it's all been overwhelming. I'm just so glad Rich had you in his life. I know you meant a lot to him and now you mean a lot to me. Bless you all.

 

Thank you,

Audrey

Glad to see you post Audrey. I hope you are doing well. This is a great community and Rich was a big part of it. Please come around as often as you'd like. While this is primarily a fantasy football site, there is much more going on here than that. Spend some time perusing this forum in particular. If you like what you see, we'd love to have you contribute. Bless you and your family.

Thank you all again. One night as I was listening through all of Rich's Jethro Tull albums -, I came upon one that made me really feel better. Here are the words to one of the songs. I hope it means something to all of you too.

 

Jethro Tull - Roots to Branches

 

At Last, Forever

 

So why are you holding my hand tonight?

I’m not intending to go far away.

I’m just slipping through to the back room –

I’ll leave you messages almost every day.

And who was I to last forever?

I didn’t promise to stay the pace.

Not in this lifetime, babe

But we’ll cling together,

Some kind of heaven written in your face.

 

So why are you holding my hand tonight?

Well, am I feeling so cold to the touch?

Do my eyes seem to focus

On some distant point?

Why do I find it hard to talk too much?

I didn’t promise to stay the pace.

Not in this lifetime, babe

But we’ll cling together,

Some kind of heaven written in your face

I'm honored to be a part of this community, if not for just this one thing... may God bless your family, Audrey, and Rich's spirit.

I am too and I'm very happy that we could do something for you to help make this dreadful time just a little less painful.

Audrey,

Those words are so appropriate and timely. Dam, you are one strong woman and I wish you peace in the days/years to come! :wacko:

Rich was just a special guy. I'll bet I wasn't on the boards more than a year and we hit it off. I truly can't express my feelings except to say I will miss Rich as if I had known him for 50 years. We were brothers in sooo many ways......the Machinist/Union thing was only a start. Hard to explain.

There is a void in my life now, never to be filled, but it is a treasured void with the best memories.

Stay strong and remember him as he was....a positive force that affected many....MANY lives!

God love you!

Tom Robin
