When the sun is slowly setting and your feet no longer trod may your name through eternity be remembered in the autograph book of God.

In the short time I known Richie I got a feeling like I new him a life time. He was that type of human being. Richie had a way about him, an infectous smile, with hey, how you doing? Hows the family? So I feel strongly that one of my many great moments I can look back on in my journey of life is that I met and got to know Richie Orefice. To all those close, near and dear to Richie think of him in kindness as he dwells in the house of the Lord forever. I hope in time we will see each other...

My deepest sympathies to the Orefice family. I only met Rich this year, and I'm so very happy I did get the chance to meet him. Despite his battle with ALS, he had such a wonderful, positive attitude. He was almost always smiling and made me laugh often! I miss our conversations and I miss him. What a brave, incredible man he was. RIP Rich...I hope your passing was just like you heard it would be!

So sorry to hear of Rich's passing. I didn't know about the ALS, just that he had so bravely weathered the cancer of his Jaw.Much too young a man to be taken from his family so soon. God be with you in your time of sorrow.
