Richard L. Auricchio

Rich, I can't believe 12 year's has passed already. Rest in Peace. You would have adored your 2 Granddaughter's Kennedy and Avery and been so proud of Dan ,He is a great father.

Dear Karen,

It's been many, many years but I was greatly saddened to hear
about Rich. As often happens, I was just talking about him, telling my husband a funny college story that of course, included Rich cracking us all up.

Truthfully, there is not a person who knows him - then or now - who would not say:"He made me laugh." What an amazing gift! There is no doubt that he will be greatly missed.

Dear Dan,
We are sorry to hear about the loss of your father. The loss of someone so close is difficult to bear. Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead.
Sharon & Nicole

Dear Karen, Dan and Amanda,
Though we didn't know Rich for long we sure felt the love he had for all of you and life itself. We also feel like we have been part of your family for a long time just by the joking and smiles we shared. Karen you know that your husband and Dan and Amanda you know that your Dad is at peace with our Lord. Please extend to the rest of your family our deepest sympathy and friendship to all of them too. Love Marlene,Celeste,Krystle and Ryan

Dear Karen, Danny, Amanda-
Mr. & Mrs. Auricchio, Mike and family,
Mr. and Mrs. K and family,

I know you'll see Rick, but I wanted to tell you, words can't even tell you how we feel. Rich was such a good friend and he was loved so VERY much. We will miss him terribly, our hearts are so very sad. Rick loved Richie like he was a brother and our kids thought the world of Rich....they looked forward to seeing him on our visits to Amsterdam, because he'd have them rolling in laughter...

Words simply cannot express what so many are feeling today. Though I knew Rich through my sister Michele and Mike, I know that his warm smile will be missed. He always brought laughter to our gatherings.

I awoke this morning to open the newspaper and my heart fell on the floor when I read of Rich's passing. I will miss his laugh, his pride for his family and his great compassion for life. I was always happy to see him and will greatly miss him. Karen and kids I am very sorry for your loss. I only hope that Rich's love for his family will help you in surviving this tragic loss. My deepest sympathy goes out to rich's entire family. Thanks for all the memories Rich! The PINE lives on...
