Charles Richard Applegate

I will always remember you Rich

Richie, Donna, Jennie and Cindy and families. I am saddened to hear the loss of your Dad. My deepest condolences. Sorry I was not at the Celebration of Life memorial event at the BW Community Center...as I was unaware he passed until today..over 2 years later. Still remember the Snap-On trucks, the El Camino, the blue 72 or 70 Ford pickup. I even bought his or your Moms 72 Ford LTD. When the family moved to Pleasant Plains, we lost track of you guys. Jenny babysat our kids in the 80's....

i will never forget you Rich your friend,CRAZY-T

My deepest sympathy to Richie, and family. The last time I saw Rich was at "Fridays", and the Toms River Post Office when he gave his usual friendly hello. Remember, we came from somewhere, he went back to somewhere. Maybe his is riding with Ronnie Blevens in a different world.

MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO THE APPLEGATE FAMILY.......ESPECIALLY THE MAYOR OF BEACHWOOD (RICH) WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER FONDLY YOUR FATHER ......MAY HE REST IN PEACE.........

Charles left no adventure of his desires unprospected (coined). That is relevant and his sons were totally involved. Good companions make life ever interesting. Proverbs 17:17.

I remember Richie very well. We spent a lot of time together during high school, riding around and working on cars.
Richie & I joined the Army together under the "buddy" system. Once we arrived a Fort Dix for basic training we were separated and never saw each other again until we got out.
He is a big part of my memories of that era which I'll never forget. RIP Richie.
