Barb,
I’m sorry to hear about Rich. Please accept my condolences during this difficult time. Rich and I worked together at TEGG for many years. He was a great mentor and I have many fond memories with Rich. I recall Mark and I attending a ‘TEGG’ party at your residence many years ago, such a great time. He will certainly be missed.
Rich I miss our trips to Myrtle And the Sunday golf. RIP BIG GUY
Rich was a great man who always went out of his way to say hello. He made people he just would meet feel welcomed and comfortable. We have lost his wisdom and love on this great earth but heaven has received a bright light. Just a little too soon!! Rest in Peace Richie.
We are heartbroken to learn of Really Cho’s passing. We met Rich when he started his ‘retirement’ business and he was the kindest man & neighbor. He always took the time to say hello, or honk and wave as we passed each other in the neighborhood. He told the most loving stories of his grandchildren!
He will be missed by all. Rest easy, friend.
My most sincere condolences to Barb and family. Rich, you were always so kind to me and I am thankful for all the time and conversations we had. The world lost a great gentleman. I will always think of you when I put on a three-piece suit. May all your swings be straight and long.
Barb and family the myers family sends our condolences. Rich was an amazing business leader we will always remember his generosity and smooth golf swing. Keep in the fairway Rich. God speed
Dearest Barbara,
Deepest sympathy to you in this difficult time. With Deepest Condolences,
Leslie and Carmen
Rich,
You were a great business partner and a huge help to me and all of the employees at TEGG Corporation. We would have never had the success we enjoyed without your help.
I will forever be in your debt for all the help you provided to all of us. Go with God’s speed.
Your friend and business partner,
Lowry Stoops
Rich was a kind man. I worked with him, at Tegg, roughly twenty years ago. I was fresh out of college, and he truly looked out for the other junior colleagues and myself.
I remember sitting down with him after he saw that I was contributing 0.0 percent to my 401K. I was 23 and not making the best financial choices. He talked to me about the importance of saving, investing in my 401K, and preparing for the future. He truly cared about the team.
It was so kind, and the advice put me on the right track.
Sending prayers to his family and friends.
So sorry. You both were such a help with Jary. Barb
Barb… I am so very sorry to hear of Rich’s passing. I have such fond memories of you BOTH during my time at Sargent when I was very young. Rich was the first true gentleman that I encountered in the work force. Such a kind person. People like Rich leave their mark on your memory and heart. Prayers to you and your family at this time and always. I’m sure he will be greatly missed.
I was deeply saddened to hear about Rich’s passing.
Barb, please accept my heartfelt condolences during this incredibly difficult time. Rich was such a kind and wonderful person, and I am grateful for the many years we had together as coworkers and friends. His warmth, sense of humor, and generosity touched so many lives, and I know how much he meant to both you and all of us who worked with him.
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. I am truly blessed that we had a chance to briefly speak before he passed. Nancy and I are still in Colorado, so we’re praying for your strength and comfort in the days ahead.
Rich will always be remembered with love and respect.
My deepest sympathy to everyone in Richard’s family for your great loss. My love to all of you. Barbara Hilty
Barb and Family,
Please accept my prayers and deepest regards.
Respectfully,
Jack Tobin
Barb I am so sorry for your loss. Rich was a very special pertin so many ways, our relationship started in 1974 when I started at Graybar, true friends are so hard to find and will be greatly missed Love to all !!! Wade and Joanne
After Bill Winter passed Rich became our fearless leader, organizing our golf trips. He was a student of the game that he loved. He was a good father and husband. He also was a good friend and he will be missed.
