Dear Chris, Dave and all the Family, I was so very saddened to read of Rich's passing. I have only great memories of he and Joyce with the Chopping Block crew. Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers, with sincere condolences, Nancy

Though I haven´t seen Richie since a reunion many years ago, it saddens me to hear of his death. We were classmates at St. Joseph School and St. Bernard and we were friends then. My condolences to his family and friends. Eternal rest grant unto Richie, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.

As a good friend of Chris, I´m very sorry to hear of Mr Ferace´s passing. My deepest sympathies to you and yours for your loss.

As a friend of Chris, I just want to pass along my condolences to the family. So sorry to hear of your loss.

Chris, My deepest and most heartfelt condolences to you and your family. I always enjoyed being around your parents. May God accept him into his eternal kingdom and may he rest in peace.

So sorry to read this. Many good memories of the Ferace family.

My condolences to Dave, Chris, and the family. There are so many memories, from St Joe's, Alger Place, Gardner, Pequot Ave, The Strand, St Bernard, PC, all important moments that defined a friendship. Rich was my Best Man and he and Joyce were godparents to my first-born. I will miss knowing he is there.

Richie was my first love in 7th grade. We met at Miss Latham School of the Dance at her ballroom dance class at the Mohegan Hotel. He and Joyce were dear friends through our St Bernard´s High School graduating in 1966. On our Jr Class trip to Washington DC, Joyce confided in me that she absolutely loved Richie. Theirs was a true love for all these years. I´ve lost touch with my friends though we saw each other for many Class Reunions. You will be missed my old friend but I am happy to...

Dave and the Ferace family, My condolences, may he be reunited with his wife, Joyce and may they become citizens of paradise.
