Shared a photo.

Hello family and friends of Uncle Rich, I've posted the photos of Aunt Fay and Uncle Rich as they represent the love that they had for each other. I know that Uncle Rich spoke to Aunt Fay every night in his prayers. They loved each other so much. I will miss hearing Uncle Rich's voice as we spoke often and we both enjoyed hearing about each other's day and sharing stories - he was the best story teller (along with the many jokes!). He cared so much about the people in his life. Uncle Rich always asked me to tell my grandchildren, his great, great niece Hailey and his great, great nephew Casey (children of his great niece Alyssa Pesklevits and her husband Jeff) to have happy lives. He got a kick out of knowing that Casey was born on his birthday. Uncle Rich knew he was loved by so many and that is the best gift of all in life. May he rest in peace with his sweetheart.

Uncle Rich was a great guy. He always had a good joke to tell & commented on the latest ball game. We always had a great time when he & Aunt Fay would come visit in Destin, FL. He will be missed. -Jed & Mindy Norris
