Rich was a true and loyal friend and an engaging storyteller at heart. He was always happy and enjoyed finding connections with everyone he met. His friends were more like family members. He mentored many people throughout his career and in life. He was known for having infinite stories and jokes to tell.

Rich was always reading and learning. He had a wealth of knowledge about almost any topic and an interest in a wide variety of music, movies and current affairs.

Rich served faithfully in all his callings, including service in the bishopric, high council, and as the stake auditor of his local congregation.

Rich had a vast knowledge and understanding of the principles of the gospel and had an immovable testimony. His humility and kindness showed when you sat and talked to him about the gospel. Rich was passionate about Family History and loved visiting the gravesites of his ancestors.

Rich and his sweetheart Tammy were sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple; they enjoyed 28 years of marriage. Rich loved his wife and his family very much.
