Rich was raised in the Brockport area, and lived there most of his life. He graduated from Brockport High School in 1984, and was very proud of his diploma. Rich went on to work in various construction trades throughout his life including plumbing, flooring, and most recently solar panel installations. He was incredibly excited for the birth of his son, Jacob in 1994, and loved him dearly. Rich never married, but family was very important to him, as were his close friends.

Richie was known for being the life of the party, always ready to have a good time. He was warm and friendly. Richie will be remembered fondly for his jokes, exaggerated stories and for his kindness. A social person and friend to all, Richie would make friends anywhere that he went and at any job that he had. If he was at an event, everyone would be welcomed with open arms. He enjoyed playing with his great nieces and nephew and would spend all of the time he could with them and the rest of his family.
