Was'nt a personal friend, but had met him when he was driving the Johnathon Byrd owned midget, that was wrenched and maintained by Bob Lowe. USAC midgets were at Lawrenceburg running and Rich won the feature and I won late model feature. After getting home and looking at the trophy , they had given Rich mine and I had his. The next time I seen him asked him how he liked his trophy from Lawreceburg. We had a quick laugh about it and said we'll exchange them sometime. That time never did come though. It is one of my favorite's in my trophy case! My favorite memory of Rich was at Winchester when he was driving a number 65 sprinter with a bolt on cage. He led for several laps until he had a mechaincal issue. Sure was making the younger guys look bad in a car that was probably older than most of them! R.I.P. Rich
