    Rich, such a shock to hear that you went home so suddenly...During our teenage years you were basically part of our family as you and my brother Bruce were extremely close in all that you did together, especially your record collecting...All 45's had to be in "green sleeves"! My heart-felt condolences to Jan and your family!!!!

    I met Rich through my client at work Don. Rich was one of Don closest friends. Rich would come to Don's occasionally to talk about music which they both had in common. Don said Rich got him into deejaying. I talked to Rich and he was a nice, funny guy. He sure will be missed by Don and myself and so many other friends. 3

Until we meet again, know that you are missed! LOVE to you and your family! Bruce Johnson
