It was an honor to have Rich as my best friend, confidant and mentor for the past 20 years. He helped me through many difficult times and encouraged me to go out of my comfort zone to accomplish things I did not think possible (cheering me on all the while). I am blessed to have so many happy memories of our time together, our trips and all the stories he told me about his life. .He was a wonderful, generous and loving man. .
Our sincere sympathy to the McLaughlin family. It was our privilege to know him and share Mass with him each weekend at St. Bernadette's Church. Rest in Peace, dear faithful servant of the Church.
Another great guy that is now in Heaven sharing stories with all that have gone before him. Bet the stories are flying! My prayers are with your loved ones. Y ou will be missed Rich by all in the Poconos and beyond.
