 RIP Rich I didn't know him at all, but I saw him around on the forum a lot and a lot of what he said made my time on the forum even more enjoyable...I hope that made sense. @mattycakes: The Soft Goodbye really pushed me over the edge.

Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Rich in person, I did correspond with him through PMs, emails, and CWF messages. Through that correspondence, I came to consider Rich a friend. I also came to understand what a debt of gratitude we owe him for his steady direction of the CWF - particularly for his insistence that we keep our messages and discussions focused on issues related to Celtic Woman. And so, it is with great sadness that I say goodbye to my friend, Rich. RIP, Big Guy.
I'd also like to offer my heartfelt condolences to the Ropes Family; you are in my prayers.

Like so many others here I never had the pleasure of meeting Rich in person. He was the first contact I had when I joined Lisa's forum back in 2007, and we both shared the same passion for her and her music. I stayed on that forum for quite some time before I joined the "big forum," which is what we all called this forum back then. There have been many changes since then; good, bad, sweet and bitter. No one can deny that Rich was a devoted fan and passionate about what he did. I hope that all of our memories of him will be good and bring a smile to our faces.
My prayers go out to Chris and Eric. Your father and our friend will be greatly missed.
Paul

I met Rich on a forum. Built for Lisa by Danielle. Discovered he was a NY Yankee fan. He learned I was a Boston Red Sox fan. I really had to give it to him!
The Red Sox beat the Yankees in the Fall of 2004. The greatest comeback in league championship history. The evil empire defeated! Of course he responded.
It was then I discovered Rich’s wit and humor. And Later, his gift for welcoming new and old Celtic Woman fans, and in particular his dedication - to Lisa and her fans and also to his “niece” Deirdre.
How could either of us have known how the events in the Fall of 2004 would affect us.
Across the sea. In Dublin. A rookie team of gals. Led by manager David Downes.
They hit a home run!
By the time the ball landed here it found its way to a Yankee. To a guy that I never thought of as either old nor fat.
But one who was to become the biggest supporter and fan of Celtic woman.
Thanks Rich for all that you have done for so many.
I’ll forever smile whenever I hear the sound of the words, dat Ol’ Fat Guy.
Rest In Peace Rich
My condolences to the Ropes family
Lester

At the Phoenix show last night, Mr. Peabody reports that Chloe dedicated her performance of Ave Marie to Rich. |

So sad to hear of Rich's passing. Though I didn't really interact with him personally on the forum, it didn't take much to notice all the time and effort he put into making this forum wonderful. RIP Rich - and my heartfelt condolences to his family.
