Just read about Richard's passing in the Manhattan College Alumni News. We were in the same class through four years at Manhattan Prep and attended the College together. We reconnected at our 50th MC reunion. Richard was a great guy, a fine gentleman and I was very sorry to hear of his passing

I had the good fortune to have met Richard through the Anglers. Although it has been many years since we have seen each other, I held him in high regard. A true gentleman.

Richard was my classmate at the University of Virginia. He was a thoughtful as well as kind individual whose company I enjoyed.

On behalf of Columbia Business School, we were so sorry to hear this sad news from Richard's friend and classmate, Jon Simonian. Richard was a wonderful and modest alumnus who was a true life long learner with a terrific (so dry!) sense of humor. A true loss and we will miss him very much. Sincerely, Barbara Clapp

I always enjoyed being with Rich at his beloved NYAC whether at our weekly dinners enjoying an after dinner cigar or the other events we attended. An avid fisherman we fished together many times on the Anglers Club trips.

He was a true friend and gentleman and will be missed but never forgotten.

Rest In Peace.

Richard and I were boys together in Washington Square. He was a more than passable stoop ball player. As an adult he was an interesting and informative dinner companion. A friend of seventy years. The pleasure of his company will be missed.

Sorry for your loss. I met Richard at a MC event for Scholarship recipients and enjoyed our conversation about potentially being distant cousins. My late mom's last name was Robilotta and I enjoyed speaking with Richard. I have posted a photo of us together at the event held 4/18/16 and can't help but notice the resemblance. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.

Although the loss of a close friend is always painful, the lasting effect of our brother Brave's end will be to create a void that will never be fully filled. Richard's understanding of and his love for the ordinary NYer was without parallel. I admired him and will miss our monthly walks and weekly dinners. Requiescat in pace my friend - you have earned it
