I spent a week hanging out with Rich and all the other guys on Mission Man Band a couple years ago. I worked and appeared in the show.

It breaks my heart to read this. I knew him, and he was one of the funniest and nicest entertainers I've met. Very talented and very funny…Had some great times.

****.

Absolutely heartbroken.

Rich was one of the most humble, gracious, talented men I've ever met and he put up one hell of a fight againt Lukemia.

God has the ultimate angel now.

REST IN PEACE RICH, YOUR LIGHT WILL NEVER FADE AND YOUR MUSIC WILL LIVE FOREVER! <3

I am devastated and heartbroken. I first met Rich back in 1998, before "Summer Girls" and he was such an amazing and talented person. We kept in touch over the years and I saw him regularly at shows. He will truly be missed by many. My love, thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Heaven has a new angel.
