I absolutely adored Richie.
I met back in the late 70's and from that moment he could never do enough for us.
I have shared many fantastic times with him. He was a really incredible, honourable man. A generous, kind and loving human being.
I'm going to miss you so much Rich.
God bless your beautiful soul.

I worked with Rich at LaGuardia. He was truly a good person. He made each day at the office brighter. I will never forget the first time we had to propose a budget for our unit. Neither one of us had any idea what we were doing. We laughed our way through the process but the biggest laugh came when our budget proposal was approved & praised! He was also with me when I received devastating news while at work. He completely took charge of the situation - and me. I will never forget his kindness & compassion.

I am deeply saddened by the death of my brother Richard. While I was working on gathering photos for his wake, I truly could not stop sobbing as each photo brought back another memory. In fact, I have been crying for over a week. He was a wonderful brother and friend.
I grieve for his family. As a husband, father and grandfather, there was no better. His love for them was boundless. He was devoted to Maureen and always wanted her by his side. He would sacrifice anything for Brian and Chris. Charlee was the apple of his eye. As sick as he was, if Charlee would ask him to get up and march in one of her parades, he would somehow manage to get to his feet and walk. It is a terrible injustice that Charlee had so little time with him. I think of the new baby that Brianna is carrying who will never know the gentle and loving nature of my brother. It is so unfair that his life was cut so short.
I grieve for my own family. Richard always treated my children, grandchildren and great-grandchild as if they were his own. Whenever they would stop to visit, they were always greeted warmly. If you arrived unexpectedly, he would immediately talk about staying for dinner and start the discussion about what you wanted to eat. In return, they all loved him dearly. They felt that his house was their house. It was terrible to watch how visibly heartbroken they were at his passing.
I know that if my mother, father and Gerard were still here, they would share in the unbearable sense of loss that I feel. Richard was such a gem. Over the last few years, I have prayed to be able to hold on to him even though his physical condition was constantly deteriorating. It was selfish on my part to feel that way but we were all hoping for a miracle. I will miss his enthusiasm for life and all of the places we went and the things that we did together. I will miss his sense of humor and all of the stories that he could tell. It is always the simple things in life that you miss the most. Simple things like sitting together and talking about our childhood on 53rd street helping one another to remember names from the past, the games that we played, the crazy things that would go on in the neighborhood, and the fun that we would have teasing our father. I always enjoyed watching TV with him how he loved the classic car auctions and the shows about refurbishing old cars. Before he bought his corvette, we would be going all over Florida looking in shops that rebuilt corvettes and visiting auto museums.
I express my condolences to all of us for the loss of a guy who was one of a kind. Sis and I are dreading going back to Florida and looking across the street at his empty condo. I don't know how long it will take before I can think of him without tears in my eyes. I love you Richard and I will miss you until we meet again. Love, Billy
