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.

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.
