Richie is the most wonderful man I ever met. Everything a partner and a husband should be. I was still in love with him even after 30 years and always will be, he was close to perfect as man can be. I mean that with all sincerity. His love for his daughters Christine and Susan was unmatched, they always came first and he had such a special connection with them that I am so proud of. I only wish this time with the grandchildren was longer, the smile on his face when they were around was pretty impressive and the happiness they brought to him. They all have some of his good traits at least. I'm so grateful for the life we had together and memories I'll always cherish. The time we had together before his illness was unmatched, we traveled and had more fun than most people ever havr. We can't forget about his son in law Mike and daughter-in-law Princess who make his girls happy everyday. That's all he wanted was his girls to be happy, no matter what. We had a great life and he's finally at peace without pain.

Cindy, we are so sorry to hear of Richard´s passing. Though we are across the country, we are so lucky to have met him when you two came to New Orleans and we saw why he meant so much to you. He was such a nice man. Please know always that your family here in New Orleans loves you and will always be here for you. We will be with you in spirit on Sunday.
