Dear Judy, Craig, Lisa, Olivia, Roger & Joanne,

Although words seem to say so little, I hope they help in some small way to ease the sense of loss that you all are experiencing today.
Words cannot express how sad I feel to hear about my dear friend.
Richie, aka, Henry, Hymie, Pecos, to me, was my first love in Garfield High. I could still see him in his Belmont jacket walking down from his house to Cambridge Ave to spend time with me and my family....that was called...

Our deepest sympathy to you, Henry's family, on his passing. Although he is absent from you physically, your hearts will still feel his presence. You need only to revisit your memories and he will be with you again. We were classmates a long time ago at Garfield High School. Henry was blessed with special talents. He was a good person. May you find peace in the years ahead as you go on with your lives as surely Henry would want you to do.

MY CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY AND ESPECIALLY JUDY.
RICHIE AND I WERE FRIENDS FOREVER.
WE KNEW ONE ANOTHER BEFORE KINDERGARTEN. OUR MOM'S WERE FRIENDS.
RICHIE WAS THE BEST AT EVERYTHING HE DID. I REMEMBER RICHIE SITTING IN GRAMMAR SCHOOL WITH HIS PAD DRAWING.
HE WAS AMAZING. SOO TALENTED AND THEN FOUND OUT IT WAS HIS CAREER.
I WOULD CALL RICHIE AND SAY DID YA GET THE SURGERY?? HE SAID I'M WORKING ON IT JO.
RICHIE YOU WILL BE MISSED BY...

To the entire DeVries family.
We want to extend our most sincere condolences. I played football with Richie in high school in 1956. It was great seeing him at the 45th class reunion and he was at our table for the 50th reunion. RIP Richie.
