I was so sorry to find out just recently about the passing of Richard... Richard and I used to play together at Linden Park. We used to hang around with all the same people back then on Linden Street in Perry St., Bowker St. I am so sorry to the family for the loss. He was an incredibly kind man. He was always good to me and never treated me with anything but respect.. I know it´s been a while, but I just wanted to send this anyhow and wish my blessings to the family on their loss...

I knocked heads with Richard on the basketball courts in Brookline back in high school. Great player, awesome rebounder, sharp elbows that flattened me more than a few times. He was the wild card that helped get BHS to the Tech State Tourney final 4. On the streets he always had a good natured wise guy remark and a mischievous smile. One of the good guys. ~ My condolences to his friends and family.

I always loved hanging with Richie. My Mother told me he was the first friend I had, playing in the sandboxes together at Linden park. We played sports and hung around together until we graduated high school. What a great man. R.I.P. Richie. Be seeing you.
