Rich was a proud graduate of Our Lady of Sorrows Grade School, St. Louis University High School, class of 1955 and St. Louis University and Graduate School. He retired from a 30 year career at Monsanto. Through the years, volunteer activities included work with St. Patrick Center and Incarnate Word St. Vincent de Paul Society. He devoted many hours to the Transition and Inaugural Commission of the City of Chesterfield, as well as being a member of the Chesterfield Police Personnel Board for 22 yrs. But his greatest joy, aside from an amazing marriage to Helen, was to be a loving supporter and active participant in the lives of his grandchildren.
