I hate to have to start another thread like this but another paltalker who all of us knew has passed away. Rich (the solipsist) who started the O and A Fan room died in his sleep. There are not many details but all I can say is this truly is a terrible day for many of us on Paltalk. Rich was a friend to everyone on there and will be missed terribly. Please use this thread to post condolences and share stories and please think of his family and friends in this time.
I dont really know what to say but Rich you were a great guy and a great friend. RIP
mod's if you can sticky this please..sorry for double post

Didn't know him all that well, but the few times i've been in the fan room and from what I've heard he was a great guy and ran a tight ship there. My condolences to his friends and family.

wow, that is terrible news. I barely knew him, but anytime something tragic like this happens in the O&A community it feels like we lose a close friend. RIP Rich, you'll be missed

I would be lieing right now if told you that I am strong enuf to not be crying but I sit here in aww with tears down my face. I first met Rich at one of Master Po's Studio painting partys. It was the first BUF O&A fan I ever met outside of MA. Eversince then we have been friends allways bumping into each other at certain O&A events, at the studio, helping him to recover from Egg Nog overdose,countless times I have spent just chatting with him on pal talk, and just recently spending the whole weekend with him in the Mancation Camper.
Why is it that good die young and the assholes like myself stick around to greeve? This one is definatly hard to take for myself due to the overwhelming great temperment that Rich had. He was all about friendship and fun, even when he was stressed out he still found a way to make sure he was liked.
Well, I am gonna miss you my friend, Love ya dude.. Steve

I have a request for the board, I know it's not much, but I would like to request that sig pics be disabled for the weekend.
I understand that many people here didnt know him, But he was a great O&A fan and did a Great job of Admin on the paltalk fanroom, As well as being a great guy. I've only talked and met him a handful of times but the guy was a stand up guy man. He was only 21. RIP Rich.
If I'm out of line just delete this post.

I can't believe he is gone. Rich was a great guy with so much to offer. I will never forget all the fun times we had at Po's singing into the spaghetti forks.
I'm so glad I got to have a dance with him at Reilly's during Mike and Heather's party.
I know he was very close with his family and they must be absolutely devasted to lose a son at only 21 years old.
Love you Rich and will miss you greatly.

Always said to lose someone. I didn't know him, but that doesn't make it any less sad. Anytime a member of this community goes, it is terrible.
