Dear Ellen, Stephanie, Connie Ann, Tony and Richie Jr....Please accept my most heartfelt sympathy on the passing of Richie. I, and other umpires always will and should forever be in his debt for what he accomplished for us as General Council for our Major League Umpires' Association. Richie brought our generation of MLB Umpires from the dark ages with compensation and respect to being an intregal part of the game then and NOW. With Richie's leadership and unyielding support for us all, we accomplished what could only be thought of as Fantasy Land numbers from MLB Umpires before the mid and late 1970's. Richie, your battles were legendary and your wins were as big as a Bear...Rest in Peace

To Ellen, Richie, Connie, & Stephanie; your Dad was one in a million. No one could keep him down. I am so very sorry to just find out, I have thought of him many, many times and all the great times we all had at Ocean City, pizza Richie made himself at home. "From this wonderful place called Heaven, Where all my pain is gone, I send a gentle breeze to whisper, My Loved Ones, Please go on".
