Rich G... the crotchety man with a heart of gold. Sometimes he'd just send Beckett board members a package of gold just for agreeing with him during a heated argument. I remember getting a box full of autographs because I sincerely told him he made a good point about something that he was being bashed on.
I was one of the fortunate few who he didn't call, "Idiot!" when he had a few too many cold ones to drink.
Good times. RIP Rich G.
When was he a member here?Never saw him.
He was really quite a character.
He was actually a hate-filled jerk. The revisionist history that has been written about that toolbag is unbelievable.
Having said that, I wish his wife (who didn't take long to remarry) and his children nothing but the best.
Rich was a hater. He was also paranoid and had an huge ego but he was not only entertaining at times but he could really piss you off. I had a few run ins with him but had some very good conversations as well. I always found it ironic that he said no law was going to make him wear a seat belt but in the end that seat belt could have saved his life.
I wasnt aware his wife remarried soon after his death. Do you know this as a fact? How long has it been that he passed away? It feels just like yesterday but it was probably closer to 10 years I would guess.
Seat belt laws are insulting laws. I agree with that.

Sadly, had he followed the law, he may be alive today, and Rocco would have a father. Hope his son is doing well.
But not wearing it was his decision. No one has the right to tell me to protect myself. If I do so, it's of my own choice. It's not about the seat belt.

He was a member of the old Beckett boards. He passed away in a car wreck prior to this board being formed.
He had a million strong opinions, and unfortunately one of them was that no one could make him wear a seat belt. He was right about everything and everyone else was an idiot. He was really quite a character. If he had ever posted here, trust me, you would remember him.
Did you know Rich personally? Or just from what he posted on the message board, which was largely an act.He was actually a hate-filled jerk. The revisionist history that has been written about that toolbag is unbelievable.

Sure he was a stubborn ***** at times, but he also could be a nice and generous guy once you got to know him.
And since when is four years "not taking long to remarry"? Four years is a long time for a single mother, and I doubt you know the circumstances of her situation.
Let the guy rest in peace.
There are many of us who are quite different off of the boards. I don't know if he was or wasn't. I'm curious as to how, and why, you know his wife remarried.
