I grew up with Richie and our families have always been close friends. We had many great times over the years and we are heartbroken as well as many others with this sad news. Our deepest condolences to Joyce and the Alcott family and extended family and we pray they all can find some peace knowing that Richie was loved and cherished by too many people to count. He was a great spirit and family man that all should be proud to have known him. Rest My Friend!

Rich was a great person who loved his family and would do anything for anybody. He would do anything for his kids and was very proud of them. RIP my friend!
