In Memoriam: Rich Mansfield
The Muttscomics.com Team, Left to Right: Elena Nazarro, Allyson Murphy, Richard Mansfield, Karen O'Connell, Me
I received news today that my former boss and friend, Richard Mansfield, passed away this weekend. Rich was just an amazing guy - the kind of person who you could just tell really tried to live each day to the fullest. I first met Rich over five years ago: I was a kid fresh out of design school, and he decided to take a chance on me and hired me as a designer. My time working with Rich and everyone at PRI/Muttscomics.com was by far the greatest experience someone starting in the field could hope for: an exciting, fun environment to work in, full of amazing people; and Rich the hub of that wheel. He was an honest, funny, kind man, who would go out of his way for others, who had enormous love for his family, friends and peers. I feel honored to have been able to know him.

So long, Rich. I hope you are hanging out somewhere listening to Bob Dylan, with Jerry Garcia and Babe Ruth, watching a gorgeous sunrise.

A very sweet post on a very sad subject, Cindy... I'm SURE he's chilling with all the favorites you mentioned.
Thank you Cindy, and that was a fun day for sure. Allyson, don't forget that he'd have to have a beer in his hand. ♥
Thanks guys.
It still seems so unreal to me...
Will you guys be there Friday? Hardly the circumstances I would have preferred, but it will be nice to see you guys...
Bob Dylan hasn't passed away yet.
