For those of you that have been around here for a while, you might have known Rich Urban. AKA "Nitetimes". Rich passed away late last week. Sorry to hear this news. RIP Rich. Doug :(

Thanks for letting us know Doug.

He seemed too young; but then, we never know when our number will be called. RIP

If I remember correctly he was mid to later 50's.. way too young. He lost his wife this past year, and that really hit him hard. :(

Rich was definitely one of the characters here on the forum and in real life. He had a sharp wit and enjoyed being involved here on Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers. Hopefully as he joins his wife Vic he has found peace and happiness. See you later Rich :beer:

Rich will be missed. His facebook posts gave us a lot to think about and sometimes were hilarious.

I am posting a link to his Obituary for those who are interested.

He was one that welcomed me in the beginning of my TD adventures. Good advise and a fun sense of humor.

Now, that's a loss to our community. Such a good guy.

Wow - this is a shocker. I met Rich at IRG in 2008. He was a great guy. I think the thing I remember the most about that trip was sitting around the campfire every night until 3 AM shooting the breeze with Rich and Jim.
