Marie
I am in shock-I just heard about the passing of your brother Richie. I am so sorry for your family's loss. I have fond memories of Richie from our days at JFK high School and when I saw you I always made it a point to ask about him-he was the kindest, most likable person you would every meet. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time-deepest sympathy

My Prayers go out to you, Rich's family and friends. I started out a customer many years ago and we ended up really good friends. It was hard not to with Rich, he would do anything in his power for you and he had a great sense of humor. I only met him once, but we pretty much emailed or spoke daily. Rich, I will miss you buddy. It is hard to imagine that I wont get to talk to you anymore... may you rest in peace, you will truly be missed.
