WE've lost another DISer too soon...

[zurgswife]

Just found this on the DVC Board....

All,

Just wanted you to know that Rich passed away this morning at the age of 42.

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate forum to post this information, but just wanted to let you know that he really enjoyed participating on this board - and I certainly remember many nights of him tapping away, giggling to himself as he shared his love of Disney and our DVC membership (and knowing him, he was probably also spouting his strong beliefs about religion and politics!)

For those of you who never met him, Rich was everything that you experienced online - and so much more! In addition to being a loving dad to our 15yr old daughter, a wonderful husband and the love of my life, he was a bright, witty, funny - and yes - strong-willed guy with deep convictions. Although he may have come across as a bit irreverant at times (!), you should know that deep down and away from a keyboard, he was one of the most wonderful guys you could ever meet.

So thanks to all of you for making his life a little brighter. If any of you would like more info about arrangements, you can PM me here (under his user name).

Sincerely
Lisa Hyams

My God Bless

He was also active on the debate board.

How sad, my thoughts and prayers will be with the family.

Many prayers for the family.

That is so sad. I never really had the opportunity to know Rich, not being DVC, but I know he certainly had a presence on the DIS. As Lisa said, '....Although he may have come across as a bit irreverant at times (!), you should know that deep down and away from a keyboard, he was one of the most wonderful guys you could ever meet....', this is probably so true of so many. So young, so very sad. My condolences to Lisa and all Rich's family. Thanks for sharing the sad news, Kim.

Wasn't it Richyams? (no A in between Rich & yams)

If so, I remember him from the debate board.

This is so sad
