Richard M. Cianci, Jr. ’91. Bristol, CT, January 25, 2010. Rich’s graduation from Mooreland culminated four years of involvement in every aspect of student life, balancing academics, athletics (baseball was his passion) and extra-curricular activities, and always surrounded by a cadre of friends. He was also a graduate of Southington High School and attended Bryant College and the University of New Haven. His caring nature, concern for others and desire to serve his fellow man, led Rich to pursue a career in law enforcement, becoming a police officer in Beacon Falls and then West Hartford. In the line of duty in West Hartford, he sustained a serious back injury that ended his career in law enforcement. At the time of his death, he was a medical sales representative for KC1-Therapeutic Support Systems. Rich was predeceased by his father, Richard M.
