Dear Peggy, Denise, Brenda, & Suzy,
I just read the obituaries and broke down and cried. I am so so very sorry to hear of your loss. I loved having you as my next door neighbor. I loved playing with the girls, I loved baby-sitting them.
Your husband and father was alot of fun. He also taught me how to drive. Remember girls falling off the back seat in the car at a stop sign? He had alot of patience with me. He was a very wonderful person. Sending my love, prayers, & heartfelt sympathy your way.

Peggy, Denise, Brenda, and Susan: My heartfelt condolences to you during this difficult time. Mere words cannot convey the shock and sadness I felt upon hearing of the death of your beloved husband and father.
Although I am now 37, the fond childhood memories of Richie will forever indelibly be in my heart. The numerous boat rides around Boston Harbor and Lake Winnepesaukee, the surfeit of Ice Cream Sandwiches always at hand, and the day he drove my then newly-purchased 1988 Volkswagen Golf from the dealership back to Walpole and taught me to drive "stick" in a school parking lot. Those are the moments I most remember.
I can list many more anecdotes which could easily fill a chapter book but, for now, kindly know that you are indeed in my thoughts and prayers. Please remain strong, and remember the pleasant moments with which anyone acquainted with Richie will surely recall with warm nostalgia.
Fond Regards,
Ann Marie and Tim Gemelli
