Bonnie, I am beyond sorry to hear about losing Rich. I loved him like a brother since we met at Creighton in 1978. His laugh was like no other and I will miss him always. Pat OBryan

Rich was the sortof colleague I wish everyone could have...kind, caring, thoughtful, humble, and positive. Working alongside Rich for so many years still brings a smile to my face decades later as a heartwarming memory of the innumerable stories he recounted to his fellow "road warriors" raising support for Creighton. And every story somehow still always brought up "Bonnie and the girls". My heart is with you. Rest in peace, friend.

I am so sorry to learn of Rich´s passing. I cannot think of anyone who exemplified what Creighton University is and its mission than Rich. I am very grateful for having known him, and for being able to spend time with him. My condolences to his entire family and his Creighton family.

Such sad news. Rich was a classmate and colleague of my husband, Jim Nolan, and mine. Always so welcoming, always caring and kind, Rich represents the very best of Creighton in so many ways. What a loss to his family, friends, colleagues and everyone who knew Rich. Our deepest condolences.

Rich was one of the most kind-hearted persons and a fair boss I have ever known. I am so saddened to hear of his passing. My heartfelt condolences to Bonnie and their girls. Rest in peaceful paradise, Rich
