Not sure what to say?

I can't believe it's been five years. Really miss you, buddy!

Just now hearing the sad news of Richie's passing. I worked with Richie in Radnor. Condolences to Mary Lou and the kids. Richie had a heart of gold. He has always so helpful. The one thing we knew for sure about Richie was to at all costs avoid the mail room on Monday mornings if the Irish lost a tough game on Saturday. Blessed to have known Richie. God rest his soul.
GO IRISH

It was a pleasure to have worked with this fine Irishman at Sun. Richie always had a smile for everyone he met. May he rest in peace.

Richie may have been 5'6" but his personality stood 7'. Had many a good time with this Leprechaun and will never forget him and his infectious smile. RIP

Rich was a frequent visitor to most of out tailgates at Notre Dame . Surely he will be missed for his gracious smile and sense of humor. He was always ready to help anyone . Sincere sympathy for his loss . Prayers

I knew Richie for over 50 years and have many fond memories. Rest in peace, Rich, and say hello to Jack for me.

My deepest sympathy to the Gildea Family for the loss of your loved one, Richard, Sr., and pray God gives you comfort, peace and strength.

I'm so sad to read of Richie's passing. I remember his smile, laugh, and his willingness to help many people while at Sun Oil. How he loved his Fighting Irish team. Deepest condolences to his family. He will be surely missed by many.
