Mr. Richard R. “Rich” Lane, 57, of Titusville, passed away on Sunday, April 10, 2022, at The Marquette Hospice House in Meadville.

            Rich taught English at the Titusville Area High School for over 20 years. Whether commanding attention in the hallways or singing “Hot, Hot, Hot” at karaoke, Rich’s love of Hawaiian shirts and island escapism, combined with his booming voice, meant he always left a lasting impression on those around him.
