He enjoyed playing darts and was on leagues during his younger years. Recently, he was declared the family “Corn Hole King”. Fishing was a favorite past time and he was a fan of Motown, but fireworks were his specialty. Rich, affectionately called “Uncle Chi Chi”, also loved spending time with his two great nephews, teaching Lucas how to use his tools and sharing tasty treats with Finn. Rich will be honored in a private memorial with his family. Condolences can be sent to family at 7219 Normandy Drive, Parma, OH 44134.
