I remember the time that Schooch was trying to rebuild a transmission. He had Richie on the phone for the whole time. There were many good times, from the Boy's Club to Charlies.

Judy-Scott and all the Williams Family

We are so sad to hear of the passing of Richie. I've known him since I was a kid hanging around the old cars and he was always laughing and joking. He sure loved the old school cars. He will be missed by many.
