I received the following from his wife a few minutes ago:
"Hello, it's Dona, Rich Riczinger's wife.
"After a long illness Rich passed away this year. It's been some months and I'm sorry I didn't let you know sooner. I'm having a difficult time. He was almost in remission from lymphoma, when he developed acute myeloid leukemia in October 2022. He was very ill for a long time and I know he didn't stay in touch. Still I know you were friends and thought you should know. Hope all is well with you."
He was a work associate, a COG associate, an occasional drinking buddy, and a good friend. He will be missed by a lot of folks.
Godspeed my friend. The pain is gone and you're in a better place.
