It May And I just read the sad news.
Rest in peace and Sleep with the Angels. Wish I had met you before I moved to California. Nice person! Never saw you after I came back a couple of times except on Facebook Book. I hope you did not suffer at all.
May see you in the next life. Blessings to all your family and friends. You live on in their memories.

For a year or so, spats and all, he was my Repo partner; I loved him to death, and he has a chapter in my current work in progress, The Confusions. Michael Sol Pollens [email protected]

Richie was my high school sweetheart. I was so happy when we reconnected on Facebook. I will miss talking with him.
