Uncle Richie was one of the best Uncles I could ever ask for. Uncle Richie will be missed by all. One of my favorite memories of him is during Christmas playing ministers cat with the family. One year he made a Festivus card based on Seinfeld – featuring the words “It’s a Festivus for the rest of us.” and “All donations will be given to the human fund.” He was someone we could all look up to. The most hilarious, kind, and caring person. He would always go out of his way to help a friend in need. I was very blessed to know him.
Always the best brother and friend. You will be missed dearly but, for ever in our hearts.
Love you Rich!
My deepest condolences to the Welsh Family. I’m so sorry for your loss. RIP Rich. Praying for you all to get through this very difficult time!
I didn’t know Rich well. But working at the rink, I covered many of his games. From the Chiefs to pick up games. He was so loved by everyone at the rink. From his teammates, staff and friends. He was a heck of player and an even better man. He was always kind to me when we spoke. Rest in peace “Big Rich”. We’re all going to miss you so much!
My deepest sympathies to Rich’s family. Rich was truly a good guy and always had a smile and laugh whenever I ran into him. You will be missed!
We will never be the same without you . I am not sure how to do it all but you can Rest In Peace knowing that I will do everything and anything to make sure that Richie and the kids will always remember the great times . I will have a huge while in my heart now that you are gone .
My deepest sympathies to the family. I am deeply saddened, Rich was a great guy and I always enjoyed interacting with him of different projects at Pitt. He will be missed.
I am sorry you have passed, I pray your Family is at peace.
My deepest sympathy to all of Rich’s family. I know he will be truly missed to all who knew him.
