I´ve known Richard for as long as I can remember and he certainly touched my life. He was a good friend to everyone, funny and caring. I have such good memories with him from high school. It doesn´t make sense that he had to go so young, he will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and Diane in this tough time. Be strong, your angel is in heaven watching down. RIP Richard!
Love, Kay-Kay Newman

Very unfortunate and I couldn't believe that Rich is no longer with us. I still have fresh memories working with Rich, he was very sincere and dedicated project manager whom I used to work with in Ally. He was very positive and open minded person who always gives you a pleasant working experience.

May lord rest his soul in peace and my heartfelt condolences to his immediate family and friends.

I can't begin to imagine their pain. You will always be remembered in my heart. I will never forget the plane ride to Virginia for prom and how exciting that was in my life. Those are the memories I will always cherish! God Bless you and God Bless your family. I am so very grateful to have had you in my life.
