I honestly had hoped that I wouldn't have to post this, however, that's just not how things worked out.

This past Friday (6/21/02), at about 10PM, someone I knew as a former co-worker, boss-dude, fellow Film-Techer, and friend, Rich Tuller, lost a difficult battle with cancer & leukemia.

He was more of a forum-lurker than a poster, but he certainly believed in 'doing film right', as anyone that met him or worked with him would know.

There will be a memorial service for him on Tuesday, June 25th, at 9:00AM, at Dillingham & Son Memorial Chapel, 62 Spring St., Auburn, ME.

Thats terrible news Gracia. My thoughts are with you and the family

Having lost close friends and family to both cancer and leukemia, I can sympathize with the pain of the victim and anguish of the family and friends. Certainly contributions to organizations working on cures are a fitting tribute.

The care & concern expressed here is appreciated.
It's been a tough thing to deal with, for a lot of people that I work with.

An update on services: following the memorial serive, there will be a reception of sorts, somewhere around 10:15AM, at Rock'n Robin's, located in the Promenade Mall, Lisbon St, Lewiston ME. The owners of Rock'n Robin's were kind enough to host it for free, as it was a place that Rich had liked to go to hang out & shoot some pool.
