Richard Murray "Richie" duPont

Dear duPont Family,

I just received the news of your great loss. I am devasted to learn of Richie's passing. I am so glad to have known him even for a brief time. My memories of him are still so fresh and vivid that it will be sometime before the reality of never running in to him again in this life time will sink in. At one of our first meetings the phrase "misfits of accidental science" popped out of his mouth and I said..who is this guy! I came to know him as a seeker, a hard...

Dear Marge, Lauren and Mike:

I read the Eagle every day even though I have not lived in the Berkshires for over a year. I was so sadden to hear about your lost.My thoughts are with all of you. Love Alison

man, i dont really know what to say, i havent really talked to richo in a while. But we have a very special past. I sort of played the big brother part to richo for about a year. Back in 99 we both woked at salernos and we were together every day all day, then after work we would head to my apartment down the road where i lived with dover, and ferris most of the time, and are famous frind jiggity. Some of those times were a blurr but also some of the most special times so far, its where the...

Phew...I really have no way to sum up my love for Richo. We all know how that sly grin could always make us smile. Like he was always planning something, his next big scheme or something...I'd always just shake my head and laugh...someday I thought...Richo will be famous...he's that kind of character. Richo was the first person I would look for everytime I came home, and I always found him, sitting at the coffee shop, smoking a cig, enjoying every minute of it. He was always up for a walk...

Richie and family,
I was just talking to my sister in South Lee and she told me of your loss. How very sorry I am for the loss of your son. It sounds like he lived a very creative and exciting life. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your whole family. Much love and many prayers are coming your way from Alaska.

I WORK WITH MARGE DUPONT AT DR.MAMOLITO'S OFFICE AND I AM SO DEEPLY SAD OVER THIS TRAGEDY. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU MARGE. LOVE, TARA

To Richie's Family:
I am shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the loss of one of our classmates. Not only was Richie one of a kind, but he was honest, thoughtful, and so very talented. I fondly remember our birthdays being one day apart, and conversing with him during study hall. My prayers are with you all and I am wishing that I was home to give my sympathy in person.

To all family and friends-
I am deeply saddend by this news and am sending all my love and wished to you all. I have not seen Richie in years but I always thought of him as a wonderful friend. I had just been talking about him a couple days ago about how he would drop anything to help. I will miss him, with all my heart.

My dearest Marge,
How I wish I'd been able to know the young man Richie had become. Our years at Bridgewater failed to prepare us for such a tragic loss. My heart aches for you and your family. Much love from mine.
