Dear Kristin,
Words cannot express how deeply I feel for your tragic loss. I will always remember Rich playing a heated and aggressive game of Trivial Pursuit against me just after you were married, and I feel terribly that the girls have been robbed of a wonderful father. My thoughts and payers are with the 3 of you, and may God all give you strength through the beautiful memories you have.
Much love,
Karen

To The Gilooly Family: I was so saddened and shocked to learn of the passing of Rich and I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. I had the good fortune of coaching Rich in lillte league basefall, along with my son Greg, and he was always one of my most favortie players, a great kid. While Rich was taken away from us at much too young of age, you should be comforted by the fact that he left his mark in a number of positive ways and he will never be forgotten, RIP Rich - The Perez Family

I was very saddened to hear of Rich's untimely passing. As head coach of our Empire State Games men's basketball teams, Rich was a man of character and integrity, in addition to being a great mentor for the young men who played under him. He was a very personable guy, and I really enjoyed being around him. I am so sorry for all those he left behind; may you find comfort in your memories and in the presence of family and friends who loved him. My sincere condolences.

Gilooly Family, so sorry to hear this sad news. Are thoughts and prayers are with your family. Rich was instrumental to me as a first year softball coach supporting me at every game. Rich touched the lives of many young children and family members. I'm glad I had the opportunity to work with such a great guy and loving father.

To the Gilooly Family-
I am so saddened to hear of Rich's untimely passing. I had the pleasure of coaching Rich at CCHS; he was always a hard worker and team player. I now live in Louisville, Kentucky but on a recent visit to Troy, I had the opportunity to spend some time speaking with Rich at CCHS. I had the pleasure of meeting his daughter, who he was so obviously proud of. Rich's passing is a great loss, not only to his family but to the Catholic High family as well. Please know that you are now and will remain in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace, Rich.

I am so very sorry to hear about Rich. Ralph and I are in complete shock. We offer our deepest condolences to you and the girls. When I saw this right away I thought about Rich' s caring and encouraging nature. I thought about how he would encourage Makayla to keep a smile on her face. His loud voice coaching the kids and helping the Sacred Heart team. You and the girls are on our prayers.

Myprayes to Rich's family. He was and will continue to be a much loved and respected former member of the Bishop Maginn High School. His rapport with the students left nothing to be desired -- he was teacherl, coach, friend, enabler, listener and committed to their well-being. I am sure he will be remembered as such by his students at CCHS of which he was a faithful alumni. May prayers are with his family and with all who will miss is presence in their lives. May his dear soul rest in peace.

To The Gilooly Family,
My heart felt condolences are sent to you during this difficult time. The news of your son's passing came as a big shock to me, as I am sure it did for you as well. I went to the same high school with Ryan, Kevin and Rich. I have known them a long time. I am deeply sorry for your loss, RIP Rich, gone way too soon. Always remembered, never forgotten.
