Richard Borders

I worked with Richie back in the 1070's with Gemini Light Show at the Ritz Theater in Staten Island. I lived in Maplewood and Richie in Irvington and as a kid into rock and roll loved every minute and was able to work with ad meet many of the top rockers of the era. Still great memories almost 50 years later.

I went to Irvington High School with Rich. So many fond memories of the great football parties at his house. He was such a wonderful person. He will be missed. I posted the info on the Class of 1967 Facebook page. RIP my friend.

I met Richard in 2020 through a mutual friend, Andy Pearl. Richard helped us with camera work for a few events at our new venue. He loved talking about music and entertainment technology and I loved hearing about it. It was a perfect match. He will be missed by our team. Our time together was short but each time we met was inspirational for me.

Sorry , it's been great to stay in touch on Facebook !! Condolences to his family .

My new friend Richard loved life and it loved him. Everyone who knew him was blessed. Intelligent and sensitive he had a sense about people that was uncanny. Just as we said when I last saw Richard, "I´ll see you later." Save me a seat near the lighting console.

I will always treasure the fun times we had together and the many deep conversations we had. I miss you Richard. I wish you safe travels and happy journeys into eternity. You made this world a better place while you were here.

We spent many hours driving around with GTO. Fun guy and a blast to hang with.
Rest in peace

He will always be GTO to all of us who went to Irvington High School in N.J. I can only hope his memories will make it to print and we can share in his incredible life.

I will always remember him for his smile, spirit and the things he taught me. This world is sadder for his departure. A gem of a human being.

What a great friend you were as we once discussed I hope to meet you on that hill above the river In the hereafter. I already miss you, had big plans for things to do with you next year, Thank you for all the help that you gave me on my shows. You are an integral part the Jimmie VanZant Cancer Charity. Until we meet again may God take you in his loving arms, Save a place for me. Your friend Joey
