Rich was on the very top of the list of true gentlemen I have ever met. One of those people you loved to talk with as his background was so varied. He could add interesting things to any conversatiion. For the last dozen years I and a few lucky friends, have enjoyed Rich during partridge, sharptail, and pheasant hunts in Saskatchewan and Montana. His plan was to come to the pheasant opener here on Oct. 8, but that sadly did not happen. I sure will miss him.
