Some friendships don’t just drift away; they leave a mark that outlives the years you shared a table. Rich sounds like the kind of man who slips into your life with laughter and then anchors you when it matters. Losing someone like that doesn’t fade; it reshapes the landscape. All you can do is carry the part of him that helped you become the father, the friend, the man you are now. Salute to him, and to the kind of chosen family that makes a life worth living.

Thank you Gino! Yes, he really did shape my life in ways that will stay with me forever.
My condolences, David...to you and everyone who knew and loved Rich.
Rest in peace and power, Mr. Hajjar....
