Richard Kastendieck

I was one of only four boys who went from Packer with Richard, Jon Kastendieck, Bill Berry and myself on to Poly in 1958 and then graduated from Poly in 1965. Richard was always the one with a quick laugh and giggle throughout those years. He was a wonderful guy to grow up with and will be missed. My condolences to his family. Cell # 954-203-7707

I had dinner recently with Lou Vigorita and he told me the news.I ran "board" track with Richie at Poly. He was faster than I. I am very sorry to hear of his passing. I read the obituary and am very impressed by his accomplishment. My sincere condolences to the Kastendieck family. Jon, I can only imagine how you feel. I wish you all the best getting through this.

I am a classmate of Richard's from Poly Prep. Class of 1965. We just celebrated our 50th reunion and wondered where the Kastendieck boys were. Now I know and am saddened at our loss. Richard was a great guy in high school and we shared many yuks! I will always remember his feats on the football field and his 100% effort against Calvin Hill in the Riverdale game 1965. I was the cheerleader for the school at that time ( it was all boys then ) and remember how energized the fans were with...

He will be greatly missed by many people. Sending love to Sally, Molly and Miles.

I will miss eating crabs with Rich at our annual crab feast and seeing him at our work weekends. I enjoyed talking to him about our respective pets and I will miss his jokes. The Windbreaker family will miss you Rich.
