Richie, You were a true friend, always there to provide your support and knowledge. You were and continue to be an inspiration to all of us who knew you. The last time we spoke you were providing me emotional support and comfort, such a true friend! I think about you often and just have to say, it was a pleasure and an honor knowing you as my friend, school mate at STGC, my brother in life. Rest in Peace Richie! Until we meet again!

Richie:

You had a brilliant, bountiful mind and a beautiful soul.

Very fond memories of going to your home in MONA to play cards, and very much treasured your visit to my University while you checked out Chemistry schools and also our time at Gavin Patterson's wedding in N. Cal.

Your light will always shine Bright.

AMDG Dear Brother.

Loving Respects, -Nap

Little did he know that seeing his meticulous notes from classes and his simplification of Chemistry problems made me want to do better while at STGC. A truly gifted individual and blue brother. AMDG.

I endorse all that has been said by my fellow 81ers. Richard was one of the brightest, humblest and most helpful person I have ever met. I have many treasured memories of him at STGC. I wish God's comfort for his sons and other family members

As a new boy to sixth form Richard was an open and welcoming guy who provided quiet and occasional insight that was always valuable even it's light hearted delivery. His mind and broad knowledge was inspiring as was his humility in sharing them. He met all with kindness and a great heart that was hard to hide. Though we were not in contact over the years he remains a life example to me. I will miss his humanity and trust his family, friends and career colleagues will have many great memories of him to be shared over and over. May he rest in peace

Justin and Daniel, after the shock and most if the pain of your lost, you will be left with memories. Know that you dad was well respected, and cared a great deal about you. Go forward and do him proud, remember always the many lessons he taught you. Most importantly, remember the funny times: his favorite song and signers, like ABBA. He now watches over you from a place where his body feels no pain. You have the support of the community of friends Dad has gathered over the years. Do not hesistate to seek out our support.

Richard, there were so many great memories of you at St George's, and your accomplishments after high school only confirmed what I have always thought about you. You were a brilliant student, a truly kind human being and a great friend. You will be missed. AMDG

Richard and family:

I recall with fondness our days at STGC, particularly as we were both members of the 'Spanish Posse' of 12 in the entire year. We would be seen conversing with each other en Espanol, much to the annoyance of many of our peers.

I am glad that I was able to speak with you before you were called to a better place, it was a bit emotional for us both. I pray that the family will be comforted with the passage of time and that your soul will find eternal rest.

My STGC brother and friend you will be sorely missed. You were a stalwart among Georgians, not just for your briliiance, but also for your humility and kindness. Shakespeare wrote, "The good you do lives after you...". You, my friend, will continue to live until the last breath of the last STGC 81er.

My deepest condolence to Richard's family and friends. He was a gentleman of sterling character and a friend with a heart of empathy that always sought to make life better for everyone. I will miss his quick wit, the wisdom of his words, and his generosity beyond measure. He was a giant of a man who will never be forgotten by me.

Richard was the best of classmates at STGC and a great friend for whom I developed great admiration during high school, but even more so as we re-connected later in life in New York and DC. He is gone too soon, but I treasure his memory. To his sons, Justin and Daniel, please take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. May he rest in peace.

Richard and I have been school mates throughout St. Theresa's Prep. School and St. George's College. He was a humble and brilliant person who encouraged his peers to strive for excellence. The contributions that he has made to society will be significant for many many years to come. Rest in peace my brother, for I know it is well with your soul.
