To Ann and the Beck family,

My prayers are with you during your time of lost. One memory I have of  Rich is that we played summer baseball together while in HS  and I believe his uncle coached us. One game he hit a home run (his only one) over the left field fence at Henry Ford Community College, and his uncle said, "Finally, you hit one out of the park." 

Again, our prayers are with you and the family as you cherish the good memories which Rich leaves behind for you all.

Respectfully,

Steve Bird
