Not sure what to say?

Richard was a good friend through high school and beyond. His parents invited me multiple times to spend wonderful weekends in Ogunquit. I remember flying to Long Island to stay at his Uncle´s house to see the 1964 Worlds Fair. His uncle got us into the ViP Ford pavilion since he owned a Ford dealership. As his health began to fail we didn´t get to visit as often. Throughout the years we stayed in contact and continued to talk. He will be missed.

My brother Richard grew up in Brookline, went to Lawrence School and Brookline High. He then graduated from Brian and Stratton College. He worked in the family business. Being 3 years apart we spent a lot of time together. Summers in Maine are especially memorable. Later, he would take a ride to visit and enjoyed a boat ride and a lobster. Richard loved to help others. He collected used glasses for the Lions Club and volunteered at Hebrew Rehab. He loved to travel with his friend Randy and...

I remember Richard as being a caring and interesting person. I also have always been impressed by how very kind and welcoming all his relatives were to him always. Warm regards

My cousin Rich was sweet, thoughtful, and soulful as the photo above shows. Our families lived in close proximity, so I saw him a lot growing up. My favorite childhood memory of Rich has to be when he landed himself a seat on the tv show Bowling for Dollars.

The Davis cousins send their most heartfelt and sincere sympathy to the Oshry family. May Richard rest in peace.

Uncle Rich will be deeply missed. He was a wonderful, caring person full of love, emotion and spirit. A fan of Boston sports, a connoisseur of Chinese food and Lobsters and a lover of antiquing. He had a great sense of humor and at the same time enjoyed deeper conversations about a wide range of topics. We will all miss him tremendously.
