I got to know Richie when I was a reporter with The Star-Ledger in Newark and he was with the New Jersey Highway Patrol, which later merged into the State Police. One of his jobs was being in charge of the State Police contingent at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford.

My deep condolences to the family...
