Ann Marie Craven wrote a sympathy message

“To the Poirier Family. I had the pleasure of working with Rich and there is not a day that went by that he did not make me laugh. He would truly make my day when he called and would say "How you doin?" with his Massachusetts accent. He truly was one of the good ones. God bless him, may he rest in peace and he truly will be missed. Rest Easy my friend. Ann Marie Craven-Schneider Electric”
