To all the family: We first met Rich and Susan at our "base camp" hotel, in Florence, Italy, at the beginning of a week long motor scooter trip. The airlines had lost their luggage and I was struck by how flexible, upbeat, and even optimistic Rich was about the situation. I would have been "totally off the wall", but he remained calm and collected. The first day of the trip, Susan decided to ride as passenger on the back of Rich's scooter, rather than as a driver. I casually volunteered to drive the scooter back to the hotel, rather than them having to pay for a truck. I will never forget the beam on Rich's face. Imagine my delight when Rich came to our room and offered me the scooter, free, for the rest of the week! What a generous guy! As we got to know both he and Susan, we were continually amazed by their lifelong achievements and kindness We loved them both more and more! We stayed in contact when we returned to the US and visited their lovely home in Washington in our RV. My husband and I were both amazed by Rich's chainsaw art, bee keeping, as well as his BBQ skills. He and Susan are such a blessing to all around. A loving husband, father and a doting grandpa were so evident! We will miss him so much! Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Thanks, Elaine and Pat Rourke, Titusville, Florida
