It is still unbelievable that you are gone 9 years today. Our Daddy...our hero...the one who was by our sides with incredible love and devotion. We laugh remembering your hysterical sense of humor and your most creative ideas for parties, Halloween costumes and everyday gadgets. Not a day goes by without our talking about you and missing you without pause. It doesn't get any easier...not for a minute. Stay close by us all especially your LaLa and Georgie, Olivia, Nicolette, George, Gia and Holland. Longer than always we will love and miss you. Happy Daddy's Day, Dada. Love, Your Pidgeon, LeeLee and Sue

Michele, Lisa and family, There are no words to express the pain from the loss that your family is enduring. I know that your dad is smiling down on your family. Just as he spent his days always laughing and smiling he spent his final day, the day he went home, smiling at the wonderful way he was remembered. Rest in Peace "Richie " and know that you will forever be in everyones hearts.
