I have known Dick for over 40 years. I was best man at his wedding, and he was at mine. He may be gone but will never be forgotten, he will always be in my heart and mind. Thanks for being such as good friend.
May you rest in peace my brother. God rest your soul.

Regina:

There is no way Alice and I can relate how shocked and very saddened we were to learn about the untimely passing of Dicky. Our deepest condolences to you and your family.

I know that the grief of his loss is shared by many.

As difficult as it is, it is important to dwell - not on the pain we feel in the loss of Dicky - but on the great pleasure experienced in knowing him.

I knew Dick since grade school, but haven't kept in touch with him over the years. About two years ago, I had the pleasure of speaking with him only briefly. When I think of him it is always with a smile. He posessed a unique ablility to make one smile even at the most difficult times. It is with extreme fondness that he will be remembered. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I will always remember him running after Larry and Raymond and wanting to be part of the crowd, trying to make everyone laugh. He will definitely be missed by all that knew him.

Dicky was so loved. Larry, Regina, and the rest of the family, I am so sorry for your loss. He was a beautiful person and never failed to make us all laugh. Nothing but good memories from elementary school, high school and all the reunions he organized. What fun we had growing up!!

I was deeply saddened to learn of Rich's passing, since I knew him since grade school even though we hadn't kept touch over the yrs. We attended grammar school together at St Catherine of Sienna. He was a funny guy then, I'm sure he always was the life of his family . Please accept my prayers and deepest sympathy to all the Tripp family whom I also remember fondly. God Bless you Richard, you will be missed.

I remember Dicky with a smile. As a kid skitching on Shelbourne Dr. and later at the Nook playing Asteroids. He has a beautiful soul . Please accept our sympathy for your loss.
