As warm and wonderful as are Richard’s siblings, we - neighbors of Tom in the Bronx - can only imagine how special Richard must have been.
Heartfelt condolences to Tom and Kathy, and all those who are feeling the pain of this loss.
May shared happy memories bring comfort, and at some point soon, even happy smiles.
With sadness and sorrow,
Andrea and Craig Robins
