Almost two weeks have past and I'm still at a loss for words over this. I met Rich a little over 3 years ago through mutual friends and we instantly became very close. I've never met someone who always had such a positive outlook on life, no matter what was going on. He always knew how to make a bad day into a good one. I will never forget all of our talks about life, relationships and dealing cars. Rich was a guy you could always count on for great advise in any situation. I will never forget you and I will always carry our conversations with me. You were such a great man and I was honored to know you. My deepest sympathy to your family and children. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Rich, we will see each other again one day. "Now, go sell some cars!"

Very sad to hear this news. I played basketball for Coach Didonato at EGHS. The work ethic and determination he taught me was something that has always stayed with me! He was a great Coach who never accepted less than 100% from me. His taught me many life lessons that have always stayed with me as a teacher and coach. Thoughts and prayers to the family.

My deepest sympathy, what a tragedy. I knew Nato from high school, we dated. I remember him as a wild & crazy, fun loving guy driving around in his red convertible, a !959 Buick, if I remember correctly. Haven't seen him for 45 years, but will remember him forever. Karin Bianchi, Prospect, Pa.

Rich, you were quite a neighbor in Florida. May your family move on knowing that you are now at rest.

He was the greatest man I ever knew...my father. Now I have the memories to get me through and keep me strong during these unimaginable times. That is one thing that my dad did pass down to me...his strength...and now I feel it in me more than ever. God I love you so much and I hope you knew the extent of my love for you. Thank you everyone for all the condolences. Lets keep the memories alive...much like he was!

A great guy gone to early... I met you 3 years ago and ever since you were a big part of my life there whenever i needed anything and vice versa. Were going to miss you Rich. You were in a sense the youngest 66 year old I have ever met. Ill never forget you and will always be thinking about you. Love you buddy.

Nato was such a good friend, such a fun person, and just plain good to be around. We had lots of laughs in high school and lately at the annual reunions. He was truly one of a kind and we will all miss him. My heart goes out to his family.

I was very saddened to hear of Rich's passing. I became close to Rich when he returned home from Florida several years ago. We shared some mutual friends. I knew him as a good man, full of life and energy, who had a smile for all he passed by. He is missed for certain. My prayers go out to his family.
