Rich and his wife Ramona have lived in the Palatine area for over thirty years where they raised four children. PATH is initially based on a conversation between Rich and Andy Konopka during a long drive to Canada for a fishing trip. The idea of helping those less fortunate in our community became a plan of action by the time they returned. Rich believes that it is important to have a “life balance” which includes family, work, religion, free time, and giving back/paying it forward. Rich is sincere in his desire to ease the suffering of those in need, while encouraging them to hope for a better future.
