Rich passed away peacefully at home in Napanee on Sunday, March 15, 2026.
He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Mary (Filman), his sons James (Krista) and David (Jennifer), and his four perfect grandchildren June, Madilynn, Cole, and Evelynn.
Rich was a devoted and special “Big Brother” to Rob Kellett, and a proud brother-in-law to Carolyn Millar and Nettie Henry. His nieces, Heather Skillen and Barbara Wilson, brought joy and completeness to family gatherings. He was predeceased by his brother Thomas.
Rich had a deep love for history, toy soldiers, reading The Globe and Mail, following the stock market, and listening to Neil Young, but above all, he treasured time spent with his family.
In keeping with his wishes, there will be no funeral. Interment will take place in Lundy's Lane Cemetery, Niagara Falls at a later date.
