His kindness and love for others will truly be missed and celebrated. Rich was a serious Ohio State football fan. You could find him watching his Bucks on Saturdays while only drinking from his OSU tumbler. He also loved Sunday funday cookouts with his family and neighbors. One of Dick’s favorite places to be spending vacation with his family in Indian Rocks Beach. He was able make many trips to IRB over the last few years. He loved watching the sunsets, playing with his great grandkids, looking for dolphins and enjoying some live music and a good meal with the ones he loved at Crabby Bills. As such, his ashes will make their way back to IRB for one final trip. A celebration of life will be held on Saturday November 30th, on none other than OSU vs. Michigan football game day.
