Hi friends, we (Dana and Dave Verellen) have started this fundraiser in memory of our, and your, dear friend Rich Hall. Rich passed away peacefully on Tuesday, January 21st. He leaves behind his incredible wife Carrie Whitney-Hall and their 7-year-old son, Cillian. The lasting impact that Rich has had on people and scene cannot be understated. He devoted his life to hardcore music and people. There is not one of us that has not benefitted in some way from something that Rich helped orchestrate. Outside of that he was a loyal, generous, and loving friend to us and to so many. He was a devoted husband and father and never missed an opportunity to let everyone know how much he loved his wife and son.

From Carrie:

"You guys, this is so hard. He loved and is loved by so many people. I want to see all of you and hug all of you. Just let me figure out the hard stuff and we'll plan celebrations on both coasts.

I always say this, but tell each other you love them and give big Rich Hall hugs to everyone, you never know how much time you have together!"

We are hoping that this fundraiser will help Carrie figure out the hard stuff, alleviate stress, and hopefully allow her and Cillian to live some of the dreams that they had when Rich was still here. Give if you can, share far and wide, and show some love to this family.

Love you all,

Dana and Dave
