My husband Paul Blinn worked with Rich up in NE Pa. at a Northrup Grumman Facility. I got to know Rich because he would come for dinner every once in a while. I would see Rich at all the Northrup Grumman picnics, golfing parties and Christmas festivities. He was one of my favorite people from the Northrup Grumman gang. He was funny, sweet and always had a nice word to say to me. I was so saddened to see that Rich passed away back in 2019. When I was around Rich he always made me feel good about myself and I loved his humor. The world lost a great person. Sincerely, Grace Barrett-Blinn

Rich was a good friend, great golfing buddy , outstanding guy, always a smile on his face and he always had a bit of humor to pass on. When he was in Florida we would meet up to play golf, a game he loved and which I'm sure he is now playing up there swinging away! I hope you have some pull up there to help me get some good scores, I will miss you Buddy, Love You, Nick I would see Rich during the day as we both worked at Woodloch and he was always polite, big smile on his face, made it a point to always stop and say a few words of wit and humor; you couldn't walk away from him without a chuckle and a smile to get you through the day. He was a great all around guy and will be missed very much. He loved his family very much, as well as his dog. There is an empty hole here on earth without you , but you will be greatly rewarded in Heaven for all the good you have done in your lifetime and your service to your country. God Bless and we love you, Marilyn.
