Billy Rieger, Co-Founder of Kenichi, Passes Away

Billy Rieger, co-founder of the popular downtown restaurant Kenichi, has passed away.

Rieger was a larger-than-life kind of guy who lived life to the fullest. His Harley was always parked outside the restaurant when he was not in Colorado. And I honestly never heard him speak badly about anyone. He had an élan about him that was contagious. He will be missed. My sincere condolences go to his former wife Tonya Noble.
