At 73, details are hard to remember sometimes, but time does not take away what you know about a friend and brother in law.
I knew him well. He was a calm quiet person with a true old world Italian personality. If you took him for granted he would surprise you every time. He was dedicated to my sister and family. He was cheerful and did what he had to do. When he lost his job, he worked with me on a very tall building in Wareham, not happy about heights but went up with us, knees sometimes shaking, but cheerful and did his job well. He had a wit about him that we all loved. He was kind, but not a pushover. He very much cared for people and had few vices if any. My crew was kinda rough, not from the same neighborhood as Rich lets say, and they wondered if I had lost my marbles taking Rich on the highest residential building ever built in Wareham Ma. They became great friends with Rich after a while, and showed him the respect he deserved. Rich was like that, he treated everyone with respect, and earned it back. Stories....

I remember a time when we visited Nancy and Rich in Newington Conn. They had a very nice place and he worked at New Brittan Machine. Nancy and Rich were like a couple out of Vogue magazine. They were young and much in love. I knew Nancy had chosen well, he was a nice man and he adored her. I think that never changed.
On a funnier note, Rich had a new Toyota that he was very proud of, which I thought was junk, but he turned out to be right. It seems some 15 years later we towed it to the junk yard. But back then, Brian was a toddler, and while we were there, the men were sent on a mission of some sort. While driving home, Brian threw up all over Richards new car, he was furious. I think it said something for his future vehicles. I guess I would say Rich was never in love with vehicles after that.

When they returned to MA and bought the front cottage, they decided to remodel it. This was going to be a big task, and everyone pitched in.This was probably the most fun we ever had as a family together. All of us on weekends working on the cottage was a great adventure . We worked hard and partied hard. There were so many stories , I can't remember them. Eventually I got inquiries into work which led to me starting in on the cape.
Richard although not having carpentry skills was eager and willing and together with Jimmie, and Ron, we had many a laugh.
Rich faced adversity bravely. He cut his hand on the table saw and it was gruesome. He carried on. He faced type one diabetes and kept on. He got Parkinson's and kept on. A brave man. I am not sure I could have endured all that. While thinking of that, Cathy reminded me of the day she, Mom, Nancy and Rich went antiquing in Arcadia Fl. While he struggled with his Parkinsons, he gallantly assisted as the gentleman he always was. She remembers Rich helping Mom , holding doors, trying as best he could to be the person he always was.

I feel I need to say to Richard Peter, he never gave up on you, no matter what, he always loved you. To Lauren, you will always be his little princess, I do not think you ever disappointed him. Just like like your Dad, you were a star in sports, got good grades, went to a great school, and created a beautiful family of your own. You are so much like him, to see you reminds us of him. To my sister, I miss you and regret many of the things that kept us apart. I feel your pain I wish I could do more.

I am privileged, he made my life better by his presence , he never lost his wit. I miss those times, I miss him.
