Rich was a Sun Worshiper and could often be found sitting in the sand at his beloved Cabana in Point Lookout LI socializing with everyone who walked by. He loved people, was a great story teller and loved a good laugh. Once you met Rich you would never forget him and he would remember every detail of the conversation you shared.
