Born on April 22, 1933 in Hartford, son of the late James (Vincenzo) Rondinone and Minny (Philamenia) Tomaro. Richard was an avid hunter, fisherman, and loved the great outdoors. He enjoyed dining out, and was a connoisseur of good food. Richard also served in the United States Army during the Korean War.

A special thanks to Joseph and Pam Arborio who helped Richard to make his home for the past eleven years in Vermont; to all of his brothers and sisters in Christ at the Free Will Baptist Church in Vermont; and to all the team at hospice in Enfield who made us understand what a special breed of people they are- Thank you. And to his special friend, Amy, who just made him smile. A funeral service will be held at 2:30pm on Friday (October 25th) at the D'Esopo Funeral Chapel, 277 Folly Brook Blvd, Wethersfield.

Richie, Debra and Steven,
I am so sorry about your dad. I was so glad I got to spend a little time with uncle before he passed. Talking to him brought back fond memories of all us cousins, aunts and uncles being together. Our family is unique in that no matter how much time passes we always have that special bond. Love and prayers to you all.
God bless,
Cousin Camille

Richard, Debra and Steven,
Uncle Richie always made me laugh and always gave me good advice. I can still hear him correcting me and not always telling me the correct way but also showing me. Growing up, I can remember him always at our home,laughing with my mom. Uncle Richie was always an uncle I could have my friends meet. I will miss him.
Cousin, Tim
