Just
read
online
that
rich
passed
away
last
year.
A
shocker.
Though
he
had
a
few
health
issues.
He
always
had
one
of
the
best
selections
of
sports
memorabilia
inventory.
The
front
of
the
store
was
always
expertly
arranged
like
a
fine
gallery.
I
followed
rich
around
to
his
various
store
locations
in
Hollywood
florida
since
1994.
First
on
hollywood
Blvd,
where
a
tattoo
shop
now
exists.
then
he
moved
to
46th
street
in
Hollywood,
where
the
winn
dixie
and
disalvos
pizza
are
located.
It
was
while
at
this
location,
that
he
opened
a
second
location
in
Weston.
Then
he
quickly
closed
the
Weston
location.
Then
he
moved
to
the
corner
of
Park
Rd
and
Sheridan
in
Hollywood.
Then
he
moved
to
Stirling
road,
which
is
Dania
beach.
if
Im
not
mistaken.
Rich
used
to
set
up
at
the
local
south
florida
shows,
in
the
mid
1990s,
when
there
were
still
shows.
of
course
Rich
was
a
big
player,
organizing
his
own
show
in
Boston
every
year,
and
packing
huge
pallets
of
merchandise
for
trucking
up
to
the
national
show
every
summer.
Rich
had
many
stories.
He
never
told
me
any
of
them.
He
was
full
of
entertaining
stories
if
you
spent
wads
of
cash.
I
never
really
spent
wads
of
cash
with
Rich.
Im
not
sure
who
owns
the
shop
now.
Is
it
Paul?
I
think
Paul
is
his
son
in
law.
Rich's
passing
leaves
a
void
in
the
industry.
A
titan
in
the
sports
memorabilia
business.
He
did
good,
for
a
guy
who
in
the
1970s
was
a
Miami
house
painter.
His
father
repaired
furniture.
....Rich
was
a
large
guy.
In
the
1990s,
he
tried
the
Pritkin
diet.
....if
business
is
good,
I
hop
you
can
see
fit
in
the
future
to
move
to
a
larger
store
in
Hollywood.
....I
miss
the
added
amenity
that
you
had
on
46th
steet,
when
there
was
a
leather
couch
and
a
TV
in
the
store.
I
guess
if
there
was
a
sports
event
on
TV,
you
had
the
TV
tuned
to
it,
which
is
appropriate
for
a
sports
memorabilia
store.
