I know i am a little late but I believe it is never to late to let extended childhood family know how sorry I am for your loss. I loved this family and in the many years I haven't seen you guys it seems not a day goes by that I don't start to remember all the times I shared with the twins. God Bless and my most sincere condolences.

Everyone would love to say they were Richie's best friend. For an inkling of life, I had that chance. When we were young, Richie taught people with actions, not words. Brian's in my dreams infinitely. In my travels, I've always bragged about the people I grew up with. Never met anyone like 'em. Praise the Godutos' and long live the memories. My prayers are with you Michelle, Jimmy, Lisa, Mr. G. and Diane.

I have a lot of great memories with the twins. When we were in highschool we used to hang out almost everyday. For a few years after highschool we were neighbors. They were like my brothers. I miss both of them.

I am deeply saddened by this news. I have known Richie (and Brian) since I was six years old. I have the fondest of memories as a child running wild through the Pepper Tree neighborhood and spending every day of every summer getting into everything we could possibly imagine, playing down at the creek and swimming in the Goduto's pool. Their family always treated me well and put up with me knocking on their door at 7 am to see if Richie and Brian could come out and play.

My heart goes out to his parents and brother and sisters. Not a day goes by that I don't think of both Richie and Brian.

God Bless!

To the family and friends of Richard "Richie" Goduto. I wish I could come up with the words that could take your pain away. I wish that I could come up with all of the answers to the questions that you have today. There is a lot of wishing going on brought on by the passing of somebody you loved so much. Please just know that you are in my prayers and that I am thinking of you.

With love at heartfelt sympathy,
