Jim Ochsner Fort Myers FL To Wanda and the entire Wyatt family please accept my most sincere condolences for Richie. Jack Ecker I am very sorry for your loss. Rich was a very kind man to our family (I am Mike & Ida Eaton's grand daughter) Many hot days he would allow us to swim in his pool, and he was very kind to my grandparents. My uncle Mike Eaton (Big Mike) passed away just over a year ago, and I know that him and Rich were close. Something tells me that they are in heaven together, having a party without us. May time and good memories heal your wounds. Tanishia Tyler This is very sad news. I went to high school with Rich. He was a fun loving, decent human being. I'm so sorry for his family and anyone who loved him. He will be missed. Linda Morris We would like to offer our sympathy to the Wyatt family.
