For Rich—and Every Family Facing Alzheimer's

Together in Rich's Memory

After losing Rich, a devoted husband, loving dad, and cherished grandfather, to Alzheimer's disease, we wanted to honor his life in a way that could bring hope to other families. Alzheimer's slowly took pieces of the man we knew and loved, but it never took away his kind heart, warm smile, or the love he had for his friends and family. Creating this tribute page is one small way to celebrate his memory while helping others facing this devastating disease. Every donation supports the Alzheimer's Association's work to advance research, provide care and support for families, and offer a lifeline through their free 24/7 Helpline. If you are able, we would be deeply grateful if you would consider making a gift in our dad's memory. Your generosity will help move us closer to a future where no family has to experience the heartbreak of Alzheimer's. Thank you for honoring Rich's life and legacy. Your kindness and support mean more to our family than words can express.
