Rich was a dedicated Volunteer and friend to the Battleship New Jersey. His smile will be sorely missed. Fair winds and following seas shipmate!

My sincere condolences to Rita and the entire Castro family. Rich, or Fidel as we knew him on the Battleship, was one of my dearest friends--we used to reminisce about the olden days, especially about comedians and musicals--we used to emulate them and go through their routines--he was a great "song & dance man"--Rich, you will be sorely missed and as you always used to say "that's another fine mess you got me into"--RIP, my dear friend--johnny Q

For many years enjoyed the wonderful friendship of Rich on the Battleship New Jersey and as a member of the DUFFERTEERS on the golf course.
