Aunt Lee and family,
How much we will all miss Uncle Dickie. There was never anything he couldn't fix or repair, conventionally or unconventionally. Many times I would be amazed at some of his "specialty works" and his comment to me would be "You think it's easy walking in my shoes?" It WASN'T easy walking in his shoes but he did it masterfully. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Aunt Lee and Family,
Uncle loved through his actions they always spoke louder than his words. When I was 12 he used to take me on some of his jobs. He then installed storm windows. He would care those windows up the ladder and he would say hold the ladder no matter what, I was always afraid for him. But, he was never afraid of anything.
Love you all

Dear Lee and Family,
Just wanted to tell you how very sorry I was when I heard about Dickie. He was a great guy and a wonderful friend. We have known each other for about 54 years and we had so much fun. He was always there when we needed help.
We could always depend on him. I know you made him happy and I thank you for that. I know how much you will miss him as will we all.
My heart and prayers will be with you all. May God Bless all of you.
Love Connie

Dear Lee and Family,
There will be a great void. Dick never realized he had touched so many lives in so many different ways. I could not begin to count the ways he has touched our lives. He will be deeply missed. Words cannot express how John and I feel.
Love, Patty & John

Richard was a loyal member of the Medford Sons of Italy. Whenever advice was needed or he could lend a helping hand Dick was there. Every Saturday he would wait for my mother's homemade pizzza. If I didn't bring it he would just shake his head and smile. All of us at the Medford Sons of Italy will miss you, but we will never forget you!

God Bless

Aunty Lee, Leanne, Eric, Rico, Vinny and Michelle and family.
Words can't express how I feel for each of you. He was my favorite Uncle, my funniest, trickest Uncle, my second father. And all the happy memories at the pool. I loved the way him and my mother would constantly compare their ravioli's, her best friend. It brought back so many memories watching him be that funny, loving "tricky" Grandfather. You all made his his life full and happy. We have each other as one always our families. His gifted hands, mind, body and soul are at rest. I love you
