Not sure what to say?

Rich,was my friend.always Will be!

My dad was the best father I could have hoped for. He was there to guide me love me encourage me throughout the many challenges that life brings you. He always made me feel special and loved. Going through his house I found all the cards I sent him throughout my life and letters I wrote him. They made me smile and brought me some comfort. I will miss him forever❤❤

I was just a friend of Rich,but Jim Weist and I saw him every Christmas.

To Rich’s brother Pat: Just spotted Rich’s obituary. As u know at one time we very good friends. He was the most independent person i ever met. He certainly loved sports. He always told me he was determined to enjoy every day.

What can I say... 32 years of friendship and so many memories. I got to know Rich when I bought my first car in 1992. He got the deal done and became friends ever since. His passion for golf, playing cards, drinking strawberry daiquiris by the pool and sunbathing is well known. We would often drove to the desert, play golf, sneak in at a fancy hotel and have drinks by the pool before stopping by a local casino to play a little poker and then heading back home for a day filled of fun and sun....

I went to high school with Rich. We went to the senior prom together, and remained friends for life. I visited him whenever I came back to NJ. Rest in peace, Rich. I’ll miss you.

May his memory be for a blessing.

 Richard served in the U.S. Air Force Reserve during the Vietnam War. He worked for a period in the Automotive Industry. Prior to his retirement he was employed as International Gate Agent (CSA) for American Airlines, through which he was able to enjoy many travels around the world.

Richard was a lifelong sports fan, taking every opportunity to enjoy basketball, baseball, and golf throughout his life both as a participant and a spectator.  He often enjoyed scratch off lottery tickets and poker, passing along the joy of playing cards to his granddaughter Kaitlyn, who will fondly remember the nights he would come to visit with McMillians Sticky Buns or Danishes under his arm for them to enjoy while they mock-gambled with quarters.
