Richie was a good friend who I coached our sons with in baseball and basketball. We coached a championship team at Aston-Middletown Little League. We had many laughs together. I think about him often and lift up Karen and her family in my prayers.

Richie was a good friend for over 23 years, dating back to our coaching days together at A-M Little League and Aston AA Basketball. We may not have seen each other often, but each time we spoke on the phone or were together exhibited our heart-felt bond of friendship. I will always remember his good nature and spirit and mischievious smile. I will miss you Richie, but know heaven is better for you being there.
