Rich Dogg - Sharing The story behind the images

The story behind the images:

I love his spirit. He is a big bundle of love, fluent in 2 languages, and a walking encyclopedia of all things in the worlds of professional wrestling, professional baseball, and a few select TV sitcoms from the 80’s - 2000’s.  Some of his all time favorites include Three’s Company, Martin, Hanging with Mr. Cooper, and Family Matters. The crown jewel of the list is California Dreaming.

Richie “Rich Dogg” Casado is my brother-in-love.  I love our ever comedic banter.  He slyly likes to calls me “Mr. Williams-Casado”, and I always reply with playful scowl and a stern, “Watch it, Richie, watch it.”  We both enjoy a nice hearty laugh from this.

Recently the family was in town on a return trip from the Dominican Republic.  We decided to have a quick family photo shoot.  Although everyone was able to get a few portraits in, Richie quickly became the star of the show.  

.

Thank you Richie for being you. I love you brother.
