Two days ago, my best friend, Rich, lost his battle with pancreatitis. He was only 36 and is survived by his wife, Katie, and 2 sons, Tyler and Jonathan.

It is so sad that he has left us so soon. Rich was a great man... So selfless and kind. He had a huge heart and loved his wife and boys more than anything in the world.  He was so proud of his boys and wanted the best for them.

All contributions will be used to provide education and special needs care for his 5 year old son, Jon, who is a loving boy with down syndrome. Contributions will also be going to a college fund for his 15 year old son, Tyler, who Rich was so proud of his athletic abilities and wanted to see him succeed.

Any donation at all would be greatly appreciated to help with their future. Thank you.
