The funeral is friday morning up in rochester, a group of us are going up thursday night.

I'll just say that what he accomplished with his 20B project was amazing, and that I'll really miss him, he was one of my closest friends.

I don't know what to say. He will definitely be missed around here. I drooled over his car more than once, and he always seemed like a cool guy.

My prayers go out to his family and close friends...Take care, Rich. I've had this happen to one of my close friends a few years ago, and I still miss him everyday.

Deepest condolences to his family and friends.

I hope his car finds a good home, from the linked thread it appears that he put a ton of work into it.

Damn, sorry to hear. Makes you wonder about how you live your life, you never know when you're gonna go. Live every day like it's your last. This sucks, three solid rotor heads down in just a couple of years... Blake, Dave Segalla, and now this My condolences to everyone who knew him, I've read many of his posts and he was obviously sharp as **** and appeared to love his car(s).

Rest in peace.
