Dr. Rich

[wayfinder]

Rich Humpal aka Dr. Rich, died this morning (4-5-13) from an apparent heart attack, during a treadmill stress test. He was zealous for God, and loved a good discussion. I will miss him very much.

I will miss him too. It's been a couple weeks since I had any e-mail contact with him. I had no idea it would be the last time, or I would have been nicer to him.

He and I went at it head to head from the time we met here at Club A. to the very end, I guess. With breaks in between, to share funny stuff. I remember one time I played my guitar for him a little bit through skype with the webcam and all. He really seemed to like that.

This is very sad news to me.

Looking forward to meeting him in Heaven where perhaps I can gain better understanding of him.

Sorry to hear of his passing - and a pox on those "stress tests" that the cardiologists give where the "test" is of the form "if you die then you must have some sort of heart problem".

May we ask how old Dr Rich was?

in Christ,

Bob

I've always thought those stress tests looked dangerous.

Dr. Rich was 68 years old.

Wow! What unexpected news! I am sorry to hear this. Thank you for passing the news along to us, Wayfinder.

One just never knows when one's breath will be the last :(

How sad, my prayers and condolences to his family

Wow, how sad to hear this Wayfinder. I had been thinking about him these passed few weeks, since I hadn't seen him posting for quite a while. Again sorry to hear this, I will keep his family in my prayers.

Thank you all, for your kind words. I know Dr. Rich could be..., well difficult at times, but there was no question about his love for God. I look forward to seeing him again in the near future. Rich also posted on topix, and a few comments on that forum have been downright evil, like "he will burn in hell". Someone actually started posting under his user name "rockroller" and the post stated that he had given up all the aberrant ideas and had joined again with those whom he once opposed. Wow! Those on this forum are quality people who love God and the people of God, even when they don't agree with them. You demonstrate that love and respect in your posts. May God bless all of you on this forum.

I only just now read about Dr Rich, and was saddened. We never know when our alloted time is up. My prayers go out to his family.

I miss him already.

Dr. Rich and I had some pretty animated discussions. He lived here in Colorado for a while - the head of a huge bull elk he hunted hangs at Glacier View. I've missed him the past few months - saddened by his passing!
