29 May 2025I am so, so sorry. No words can express the depth of my sorrow for all who love Rich feel the pain. There is no answer to the “Why?” We just know it is. Jenn know that my prayers are with you both as you traverse these dark days.

30 May 2025I’m so very sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family. Richard will always be remembered as the Best Maintenance man( Taco Bell) I ever had and friend. I will never forget him coming to save me from the biggest spider ever , mind you after I had already flooded the store with gallons of water. I always told him , I know your wife loves you because you can fix anything, and kill spiders . The day I left Taco Bell he gave me a hug and said Thank you for being the first person to make him feel welcomed to the company. He will be forever remembered and missed. God Bless you and your family

6 Jun 2025Richard leaves a legacy of kindness, human decency, hard work, and dignity…among so many other strong character traits. I was fortunate to work with Richard for 20+ years, and he was a man of incredible integrity. He spoke with such love about his wife, Jennifer, and his son, Caleb. He will be missed.
