Not sure what to say?

Still in my heart ....Natalie

I just learned of Richie's passing. I'm so sad I never had a chance to say a last Thank You. Richie and I shared great times in LA.. I miss his smiles and goofy laugh.. it would get me everytime. We watched so many Ohio State Buckeye Games at his condo in LA.. He would turn on The Buckeye Band doing The Script Ohio.. We would both ..lol.. March to it in His Living Room. What Great Fun. My Deepest Sympathy To All His Friends And Family !!! Miss You Richie !!!!

Richie and I were inducted into the US army on the same day, and served together during basic training and our service in Korea. We went on R&R together to Japan and he helped me start my collection of Japanese art. He was good friend and a fine person.

Richie, I have such special memories, its too sad to think we cant laugh about those crazy times together any more. A great big chandelier of light has gone out in the netsuke world and we miss you.

As a fellow Volunteer for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and a fellow Veteran, I always enjoyed Richie's smiling face and his stories. He was a true artist. He will be missed.
