My Uncle Richard, My Godfather:
I have the most wonderful memories of both our families celebrating holidays, birthdays, births, church celebrations or just getting together to enjoy each others company. My mother loved you, her "little brother". You were always the center of entertainment and joy in all our gatherings,and you always told the best stories of events that happened in everyday living. To this day I remember the detailed "story" of David climbing up the power pole in your back...

Richard was a longtime good friend and neighbor in Waretown. We enjoyed many boating vacations and neighborhood parties throughout our years. He was a man of many talents and tackled projects with zest. He and Carol were great companions and partners as well. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her at this extremely difficult time. We all know he is at peace and will always be watching over us, and even giving us hope for the future.
God bless all.

Love Dee and Gary

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. All of our thoughts of Rich are nothing but great! He is a wonderful man in every meaning of the word. It is impossible to imagine being down the shore or in Florida without him there. Much Love to the family. Love, Melissa, Scott and Garrett Perone

Our dear Uncle Richard was also the beloved brother of my dad, the late Joseph Richard Letcher. Like Dad, Richard was charming, handsome and possessed innumerable talents. It is of great consolation to know that their eternal souls are reunited in heaven.

It is a rare man that, in his spare time, builds countless cars and his own house. Rarer still is one who is also an excellent dancer. Of course, that’s just for starters. Richard was extraordinary and will be greatly...

Dad, I will miss you more than words can say. I don't have to tell you what you ment to me. I was always your little shadow. You tought me so much. You taught me to be strong. You taught me how to do things and figure out things on my own. Now I have become a man and have (2) sons of my own. I see me in them. They are always by my side, wanting to know how this works and what that does and why is this like that. Now that you are gone, I see you in me. And that is the greatest memory of all....

Please accept our deepest sympathies.

Grandpa Richard, I love you. I miss you. Love, Zachary

A good Man, Friend, Husband, Dad and Grandpa...there are not enough words to describe this boisterous, loving life soul! The smile, the twinkle in his eyes...you will be missed by many Richard, many. My prayers to Carol and the Family...may you know that you have each other and many friends, seen and unseen, offering you support during this trying time. May God Bless You All Today and Always.

When I think of you.....a smile always comes to my face...... You will be missed more than words can say. Gone but never forgotten...... Rest in peace........
