Rich and I have been communicating over the last year about the house they were planning to build. I introduced him to my friend at Extreme Panel. They manufacture SIP panels. I used them for my house. I received a text from my guy at Extreme Panel that he just heard from Lisa that Rich passed a way. So sorry for them. they were just ready to finalize one of their life's dreams.

Oh no! So sorry to hear that.

I met Rich years ago at his house after I first got my 25-year resto project on the road.

Great guy. So much knowledge lost.

What a bummer. Damn.

Very sad. I always paid attention to his input. He was a valuable member of the 914 community.

RIP Rich

I saw on the Facebook 914 world site the Richard’s son Ablel Towle was looking to get in touch with Tom Tate. If anyone know how to reach out To Tom directly, please pass it along.
