Myself & the DiPlatzi family were saddened to hear of Richards passing. Growing up next door gave us all so many great memories. Being fortunate to visit Richard during his struggle gave us time to reminisce and have some laughs. We pray you find peace now that he is at peace. I will speak of him often and remember him always

I used to work with Carla years ago and got to know Tommy and Richard through our friendship over the years. Also through their work with the Angel Fund and ALS walks. R.I.P. Richard. I will always remember your smile and upbeat attitude always. Thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends during this difficult time.
