So sorry to hear about Richie. He was a cousin of my Walsh cousins (other side of my mom's sister's family). He came to visit us in Frankfurt, Germany in, maybe, 1960, when my father, Joe Lemay, was stationed there. He arrived with a buddy, and we had a wonderful time seeing him! In later years, I used to see him at Forest Hills MBTA station. May he RIP.

To Richie's family,
He was blessed to have so many siblings, in-laws and nieces and nephews in his life. I'm sure he will be greatly missed.
