Not sure what to say?

Thank you to all from near and far, from past and present who posted memories and loving notes for Rich here.

I'm at a loss to adequately express my gratitude for the friends and colleagues who shared my brother's days - his laugh, his joy, his interests and his bigger-than-life heart. I hope you will hear his voice when you miss him or need him. I hope I will too.

Thank you.

Richard swam laps in the pool at the Condo. He challenged me to do one, then two, then four and quickly we began swimming 25 laps together. My nieces and nephews have fond memories of Rich in the pool with them; they ask about him regularly. The world has lost an amazing soul.

God bless you Richard

Richard was my very dear friend. No one has ever made me laugh harder. We shared many moments of great food, classic rock and roll and falling down laughing. He is truly someone I will really miss. He was a great man, kind and generous, astute and funny. He listened well and remembered the idiosyncrasies so he could make a comedy of the drama. I can't imagine this world without him. My sympathies to Michelle and family. He loved you dearly.

I grew up on the same street as Rich (Richie) and Michelle. A lot of fun memories of our childhood. Rich always made us laugh! Our sympathies to Michelle, Rich's family and friends.

The truly great ones always seem to die young. You are missed my dear!

Rich was a fun person to talk to and get to know. Excited about life, interested, and interesting. My condolences to his family and family of friends. He will be missed.

My association with Rich doesn't have a long history, but it was memorable. There were no strangers to Rich, only friends he hadn't met yet. A big man with a bigger heart. He is missed already.

My brother and I grew up with Richie and Michelle on Beechdale Drive in Mansfield. Lots of great memories. So sorry for your loss. Marilee Seitz Kastran
