Chad Riffle wrote a sympathy message

“At 40 years old I still remember playing baseball for Coach Rich. He always made the game fun and pushed me to do my best. He was genuine and it felt like he cared about me beyond what I offered in baseball skill. A few years ago I ran into him and he still remembered me (probably because I was such a pain) and lit up his big smile asking about me and my family. I’ll always remember that smile.”
