Sincere sympathy to all.

You were the greatest man I ever knew. I live so far away but not a day went by that I didn't think of you. I missed you everyday and now I will miss you forever. I am so proud to call you my father. I am so blessed to have so many wonderful memories of you and the life you gave us. I always looked up to you... Now I will look a little higher. I love you so much... forever and ever...

I first met rich in a housing development where he lived. We use to party and sit out on the stoop for hours on end. I was lucky enough to keep him in my life for him and my aunt were married. He will be sadly missed.

Such a tender heart that touched so many lives. I am eternally grateful that you were sent to us and so very proud to call you my dad. You were a provider, protector, and my role model. I will miss you terribly. I love you.

You raised some beautiful and caring young women and none of them will ever forget you. Each of them will make sure that your grandchildren will always remember their pop-pop. You're leaving behind a wonderful family. You've done so well and I know you are so proud. May God bless you.

my love, my life, my everything.

May God give my aunt and cousins and Richs family the strenght to heal.

I love you. You were the best father anyone could ask for. You taught me to be strong and independent and for that I am forever grateful. Looking at your photos makes my heart hurt, but I also smile at all of the memories that were made with you. Good times and bad times, that's what families go through, and I'm glad you were there for all of them.

WE LOVE YOU GUYS, SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS!
