I will miss Rich very much he was always friendly and gave me a hug. He did the work of many people I could not have done what he did. A nice guy always in a good mood. Words can’t tell the story we will miss you Rich. Rest in peace.
Goodnight, Sam

I am really sorry for your loss. Hollie was a truly special person who I admired and respected.
Hollie was a delightful child;so full of life and enthusiasm. I am sure that carried over into his adulthood. That kind of joy will always be missed. My sympathy and prayers to the family.
I just cannot believe it. Rich and I dated in high school and I was over the moon for him. We kept in touch over the years but I had no idea he had passed. Much love and many prayers for the family. His favorite quote I remember is: “Number 54 in the program and first in your heart.” Definitely true. He will be missed terribly.
