To my precious brother, Richie...your laugh, innocent nature, and unbreakable spirit were the foundation of this family all along. We don't know quite what to do without you now, you have left such a hole. I will miss you for the rest of my life and until I can see you again. We know that if our love alone could have kept you alive, you would have lived forever.
To all of those whose lives were touched by Richie in some way in Washington, California, Arizona, or Wisconsin, thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
