Not sure what to say?

Wow where did the 50 years go by. I enjoyed the fun times we had. I remember your wedding with Pat. Make every one laugh in heaven. Pat I moved to Fl five years ago so if you wish to visit always have a bedroom for you. Tom Jones

A fine gentleman with an engaging sense of humor and always a kind word. You will be missed Rich.

It is with profound sorrow that I learned the news of Rich's passing. Always a gentleman with a smile and sense of humor, how enjoyable were the many conversations of Irish heritage and patriotism, sharing the joys of raising our children and their school interactions or just running into each other about town! My deepest condolences to Rich's family on the loss of this awesome husband, father, grandfather and friend. Peace and love, Susan McGowan

So very sorry about your Dad. May he rest in peace.

Great man and grandfather will be dearly missed by friends and family.RIP

I have great memories of Rich going way back to the 70's. I especially loved his quick Irish wit. I enjoyed his company when we worked together at Algonquin Industries in Guilford for many years. I did not see him much over the last few years but when I did see him we had a lot of laughs. He will be missed. My sincere condolences to his entire family and all who were close to him.

Pat, Brendan and Erin My deepest sympathy on Dick's death. He was a dear friend and respected co-worker. I loved having him around. I was a better person because of him. Memories of our travels, ball games, parties and work still make me smile. Health issues prevent me from being with you, but I send you hugs. You are in my prayers.

My condolences to Pat and family. I will always remember what a kind, thoughtful man Richard was. He will be greatly missed. ❤

Richie great guy always a smile had so many great memories working for his son Brendon he will always be miss God bless the OBrien family
