Cheesehead RIP

[Tkelly]

Great turnout at Rick’s memorial Saturday.For those who encountered his prickly personality ,as I did, found,there was much more to the man.I had my IT person attempt to post the obit but I don’t know if it went thru.

I would have loved to go, but I'm dealing with some health issues. I had no idea he was Mensa..

Kinda stunned Cheesehead doesn't get more love.

He was a legend, kinda in the same vein as Dave Richardson. Ever heard of MG Cycle?

I just found out today he had passed. This makes me very sad.

Cheesehead, you irrascible MFer: Wait for me in Guzzi Heaven. Prob'ly won't be long...

Just yesterday a friend told me about Rich's passing, so I'm sorry that I didn't see this sooner. This was a very talented and motivated dude - I remember both Cheese and Gordon filling me in on their dreams and aspirations for MG Cycle. Far as I can tell, they met every one and more. Hospitable, clever, funny and kind. Simply a fantastic dude and Moto Guzzi legend.

RIP Rich.
