I best remember Rich from Jefferson Junior High, especially in the band, where Rich played the tuba, or maybe it was the trombone. I hardly saw Rich again when we went to the High School, which was like a city, but he was one of the bright spots for me in grades 7-9.
tribute by Tom HillI remember Rich from Lincoln. Just a nice guy, someone you could talk to at any time. A happy kid that everyone liked. Really to sorry to read about his death.
