Rich was a wonderful man who turned into family because of his love for my mother-in-law, Mary Hanson. He was thoughtful and caring and just plain fun to be with. He will truly be missed by our whole family. My daughter, Alyssa, is away at college but has told me how much she will miss him too!

Even to a casual observer, it was clear that Rich and my mother, Mary Kelly-Hanson, adored each other. The love, kindness and respect he showed her throughout their time together is a testament to the kind of man Rich was. With deepest sympathies, our thoughts and prayers are with the Quinn Family and everyone who had the good fortune to have known this wonderful man.
