Charles Richard Applegate

10 years can go by like a blink of an eye. The late 70´s..80´s and 90´s don´t seem that long ago but it´s 35-45 years ago. All the knowledge and know how is lost once one passes....You really only get to pass down so much knowledge/history of things but what is retained is minuscule by comparison. Hopefully there are exceptions to the rule...for Richie was a wealth of information and know how.

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.
Rich Troiano, 71 Nova SS

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.
