I'm so sorry for your loss, Rich, Joe Conti and I sang together from 4th grade until high school. If you find a ceramic piece of 3 altar boys one blonde, one red head, one black haired that is us, it's something his Mom made oh so many years ago. I'll always think of Richard singing and playing his banjo. I'm saddened to hear of his passing, gone too soon. He was a good, kind soul, who will be missed. Rest in peace my friend

Richard was a good friend of mine in high school. We were in choir and Theater. He ran into my daughter a few years ago and asked her if I happened to be her mother. That was nice :-) It is very sad he passed so young. I know he will be missed by many. Love and prayers.

Rich was two years ahead of me in school. We were in choir and plays together and I never forgot him. Last time I saw him was a couple of years ago at the post office and it was such a great few minutes! May he rest peacefully with the angels.

A song came into my head last week, I was a Musicamper in 1971 and Rich was a counselor for my shack. They performed this song (Never ending Love) at the end of Summer camp one year, and it always reminded me of Rich, right up front with his 5 string banjo performing. Many,many years went by and several of this once huge group went to see out mentor Margaret Thompson in a nursing Home in Amherst. Again performed some Songs we had done way back when.... Facebook kept us in contact which was...
