Not sure what to say?

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It was so nice to have worked with him in the Science Dept. for 19 years. He was a wonderful person. Marilyn Haas Boynton Beach, Florida.

Chrissy, Nancy and I were shocked by your loss. Rich was everyone’s friend and wore that never ending smile. He was a teacher at heart and always loved speaking of his students and the profession. We share your loss as does all of Lakeside and MSOA. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I had the privilege of teaching with and knowing Rich for over forty years. We shared many wonderful moments over the years that were filled with good natured arguments - especially about the Apollo Moon landings, talks about the paranormal from listening to his favorite radio show - Coast to Coast AM, discussions about home repairs, and millions of laughs over the years because Rich had an amazing sense of humor. We kept in touch almost weekly texting about the space launches since we both...

Rich was a wonderful friend. I am honored and grateful for the times we shared. Rich will always stay alive in my memories. I hope to join him when my times comes.

I'm sorry I never had the chance to know Rich, but as a new friend to Chris I give my sincere condolences to the family in this difficult time. He lived a wonderful life and surely will be missed by many. Liz Logan

Rich was always a dedicated and concerned member of our Lakeside community. His valuable contribution will be missed. He possessed an inner state of peace that I always admired--and envied! I wonder what it was like to be in his physics class at North Bergen High while he transformed a challenging and often intimidating subject into a fun experience as only Rich could do. His kindness, great sense of humor, and intelligence, a rare combination today, will be remembered.
