The world will never be the same without Richie, my heart is broken. He always had a smile on his face and touched everyone's life that knew him with love and joy. He will truly be missed by all. 

To Rich's family and children,
I am so sorry for your loss. I will always carry happy memories of Rich with me. To his children, your dad was a great guy. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and he could make anyone smile. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. 
Sincerely,

We were never really close but we had gone to school together throughout most of our childhood. I will never forget you Rich Gent! So sad that you had to leave us so soon but feel better knowing that you are in a much better place. My heart goes out to the family. Rest in Peace my friend until we all meet up again! :)

Rich was one of the best. I always saw him with a smile on his face. He will be sorely missed family and friends. My prayers go out to all the family.

Susie my dear, my heart goes out to you!  I wish you comfort in any way you can find it.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  Now and in the days ahead, I wish you peace.  Take care of yourself.  Big hugs.  

So sorry to hear of Rich's passing.  I remember the last time I saw & talked with him.  Same Rich, always smiling & easy to talk to.  He will be missed.

That face with that smile is timeless and priceless to all of us. I will be thinking of your family and friends from afar in Florida during the services. I am sure your dad was there to meet you in Heaven. Hugs ya tight dear.   

Rich was a great father, son, and friend! I don't think I've ever met a person who knew Rich who didn't end up loving him, he was a guy who would give you the shirt off his back and do anything to help anyone :) I will miss you and know that you are watching over all of us.

I am deeply saddened by your loss. Please accept my condolences. Rich was such a wonderful person and will be greatly missed. 

GOD bless you, keep you and be near you during this time of bereavement. May HE provide you with the strength and the courage as you walk through this valley of the shadow of death.

I am still shocked and saddened...Rich was always there to make you laugh, an entertainer at heart.  He will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing and loving him.  A day at the beach with Rich or at a concert was like no other.  My condolences go out to all.  I know you are now air guitaring in the heavens Rich, ROCK ON!

Prayers for the family and friends he leaves. I remember Rich as one of the "good guys" in high school. Car broke down and need a ride?  Someone is hogging the record player? (Funny to type) Someone hitting on you and you don't want him to?  He was a go to guy - always had your back. The world needs more men like Rich.  Sorry for your loss.

Rich was my high school friend and I was fortunate enough to have him in my life these past few years.  Rich hit Florida with a big smile and as always a have a good time attitude.  He saw more of Florida in his short time than I did in 20 years.  The gift of knowing him, witnessing his love of music and then sharing it with his kid and mine was amazing.  He was a great Dad.  My heart breaks for his family as I know what it is like to lose your father too young.  Forever grateful for my time with Rich.  See ya on the other side my friend. Rock on with the Angels.  I love ya!  

We worked at American Eagle together and were roommates in  Dallas when Brian Saylor, Rich and myself made the voyage. He use to impersonate Fire Marshall Bill when Jim Carey did the act. Too funny. He will be missed. He gets to see what we dream it will be when it is our time to meet God. Good luck my friend. Have a safe trip.

What can be said of a man who lived life to it's fullest? What words can convey how crushed we all are? What words can we say to people who didn't know him, that would give them even a glimpse of his larger than life personality? What words can be spoken to comfort his children? There are none. I am at a loss for words. My heart is broken, forever. Nothing will ever be the same. To know him is to love him, regardless of any time lapse in speaking with him. I will be there for Christian, but I can never be you. WE LOVE YOU XOXOXOXO

Oh Susie my dear friend I was so sorry to hear of you loss.My prayers are with you and Monica and family.

Susie and Monica you are in my thoughts and prayers Be there for each other and remember the good 
Love you 
Kiki
