He forged lifelong friendships at OLPH and Riordan. Firefighter for Menlo Park Fire District for 27 years. He loved the brotherhood of his fire family and spent his career teaching, supporting, mentoring, playing softball and having fun.

He taught at the fire academy at College of San Mateo for many years and helped shape upcoming firefighters. He volunteered in the Fiesta Gardens neighborhood, and always helped family and friends.

During his eight years of battling esophageal cancer, Rich showed courage and bravery.  “He never gave up and cherished each moment he had.

He was grateful that so many friends and family were able to come and say goodbye during his final week at home.”
