    I worked with Rich for several years at Joint Forces Command. He was a hard working, competent man. A true patriot who served our nation well.
    He has left this world too soon. Rest in peace Rich.

    I’m sorry for the loss of your loved one. It is comforting to know that your loved one is alive in God’s memory, God never loses sight of them. (Luke 20:38)

    Also it is comforting to know of the time when God promises to end death forever. (Rev 21:4)
