My gratitude to Todd Brinkman for his unending support to Rich’s family in their great need as Rich has passed and Todd was their support mechanism thru out this time.

Dear Todd, Dad has passed peacefully early this morning with Brian and I by his side. Can you please share the below, we know everyone has been very concerned. Dear USTS family, Thank you for the thoughts and prayers during this challenging time. It is with great sorrow to inform you that our beloved father Rich has passed to the next life. We are incredibly grateful he was able to live a full life and enjoy his passion for boat racing until his last days. An update with funeral arrangements will come soon. -The sons of X-51
