David Keeney wrote a sympathy message

“For decades, Rich was the de-facto head of our local suburban band director group. 8 of us, give or take, were trusted, under his guidance, to run our programs/festivals as we saw fit, enjoying a creative freedom rare in education. It was a special time! Rich earned the credit (sometimes the heat!) for our nutty adventures in the '70's - '90's. As such, ALL our students, not just his @ Independence, enjoyed countless wonderful & enriching musical experiences. From us AND them, Thank You, Rich!”
