Rich was a tremendous human being, always advocating for our city, our neighborhood, and our residents. He went above and beyond supporting our community, from advocating for public policy change to helping with neighborhood clean up. Whatever was needed, he would find a way to help. We will greatly miss his gentle, loving spirit. We’re sending love to his family 💜
