U Rich always reminded me of Winnie the Pooh which made him a good fit for A Carol. I was asked to walk Brandy and U Rich whenever I visited to be sure he got his exercise in. He was warm and welcoming, even obtaining videos for my kids which had to be just right for their ages. It was fun when his vacation trips came my way and we would go visit he and A Carol. So glad to have known him...

We are so sorry for your loss. Rich was a fellow parishioner of ours at Saint Mary the Virgin. He always sat in the pew ahead of my husband, David, and me, until going into the assisted living/nursing home. He was a good friend and faithful soldier of Our Lord. Know that we will continue to remember Rich in our daily prayers. Eternal rest grant unto him, Oh Lord. And, let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God, rest in peace Amen. Mary and David Bocchino
