Richard Prospero

I had the pleasure and inspiration of both being mentored by Rich as a student on Hillsborough's High School Robotics and later to work with Rich as a fellow mentor for Ewing High School's team. Rich was an inspiration to me in high school that helped direct me to pursue and earn a Mechanical Engineering degree. Upon having the great pleasure to work again with him to mentor Ewing, I was again inspired by his motivation and passion for Engineering, all things tinkering and especially for...

I'm so sad to hear of Rich's passing. I only met Rich at our J&J monthly lunches. He introduced me to Dorthea's house which I have attended and also met you. You must have many happy memories, he was a wonderful person. He has inspired me to go to Italy. I have a trip booked and will be thinking of him.

Dear Linda, I was a classmate of Rich's in Pottstown...he was "always behind me in homeroom...my maiden name was Plastiras (Greek) and we use to tease each other about that...a Greek and an Italian. I loved seeing him at the reunions and I'm sure I met you. What a WONDERFUL life he and you had. He was so self-effacing...no one knew how truly successful he was in life. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.
And as the "Greeks" say...May His Memory Be Eternal...
All the...

Dear Linda and family
I did not work with Richard at J&J but would attend our retires luncheons. We would talk about Italy and he introducted me to Dorthea's house in Princeton. He was a sweet understanding man to gave of himself to everyone he knew.
My sincere sympthay.

Dear Linda and family,
I am very sorry to hear about Richard's passing. I knew him from brief conversations at Dorothea's House, and enjoyed his upbeat manner and sense of adventure. My heart goes out to you all.

Linda and family, we are so sorry to hear of the passing of Richard.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We enjoyed all of our
back and forth e-mails about Italy since we both lived there. Your
happy memories will bring you peace and comfort. Our sincere
sympathy. Rich and Donna Stranick

Dear Linda and family. I was so sad to hear of Richard's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you grieve. I hope that happy memories will soon give you comfort and peace until you meet again. My deepest condolences.

As a member of the initial Ewing High School robotics team, I am one of the lucky many who had the priveledge to be mentored directly by Mr Prospero. This team did and continues to see success, due in great part to his contributions and undying effort. His great heart and motivation during the time that he mentored the team helped influence myself and many other members of the team to pursue the engineering degrees we are currently studying. I know I speak not only for myself, but for the...
