Dear Janet, Donna and Family;

I have already expressed my condolences to you privately but wanted to post a special tribute to Richard publicly. Knowing all of you for so many years, I feel as though a member of my extended family is now gone but will be remembered for his gentle ways and that soft sweet voice of his.

You all were blessed with a loving husband and father and know that his legacy will live long beyond his life here on earth. May the coming days be supported with love and God's grace.
With sincerest love and sympathy...Janice Coulombe Vaccaro, Atlanta, GA
