Rich was one of my favorites, both as song-writer & musician. I cried my 54 mile drive into work this morning after I heard Jon Rivers announce the news about Rich. I hadn't listened to the radio all weekend.
I am planning to do a medley of Rich's songs next Sunday as my own memorial to Rich. I know many others were as profoundly affected by Rich's music as I have been.
My prayers are with Mitch McVicker & his family as Mitch lies in the Peoria hospital in critical condition. My heart goes out to Rich's family in deepest sympathy. Rich will be missed. And, finally my prayers are with the driver of the 18 wheeler that hit Rich after Rich was thrown out of his jeep. The grief & guilt felt by that driver must be a horrible burden to bear. I pray that driver will find peace - I think Rich would feel that way as well - he was that kind of person.
"When I leave I wanna go out like Elijah, with a whirlwind to fuel my chariot of fire. And when I look back on the stars, it'll be like a candle light in Central Park, and it won't break my heart to say goodbye"
