I post this video in hopes that at least one spouse of someone who was killed can get to a better place as quickly as possible. Everyone grieves differently, this is not about grieving. It is about how to behave around the surviving spouse.

Losing a partner, spouse or significant other is not the same as losing a family member or close friend.

The second year is the hardest. The second year is when you are needed most. Reach out the second year.

Please do not post what happened to Rich in the comments and please do not ask what happened. It is not for public knowledge.

Rich's memorial and paddle out information is at the very end. It will take place Feb 4th, 2024 starting at 08:30am in the Addie St parking lot. Due to possible rain on Sunday, the beach memorial will be held at the clubhouse at the Holiday RV Park across from 7/11.

Due to limited parking, please walk over from the Addie St parking lot if you can to save parking spaces for the people who are unable to make the walk.
