Sorry for your loss

Our families grew up together when we worked at Vic's Pizza together. Parties at your parents house, summer swimming at Normans after working late. Cannonballs in the pool by you and getting us all wet. Washing all those pots and pans in the sink at Vic's and you laughing at me when you had to add more pots and pans to the sink. Greasing pans, watching you cut up the meat for the sausage or pounding out chicken for chicken parm. I have a lot of good memories so sorry that you have left this world way to early. Rest in peace my friend and to your family much sympathy and prayers for the pain you are suffering now. May god give you strength and comfort and may your memories of Richie bring you comfort too.
