Dolly, Sincerest condolences to you and your family from the Illinois Amateur Softball Association. Rich was an excellent pitcher in our organization for many years and more importantly, he conducted himself as a gentleman and was well liked by teammates and opponents alike. When someone like Rich Carrell beat you, it was easier to take because he was such a "nice" guy. Don Brewer, Illinois ASA State Commissioner
Dolly, Clay, and Craig, Sending you thoughts and prayers.
