Richie....my old friend. I am thinking about all the great times we had growing up laughing on the outside and crying on the inside. It has been awhile since we have seen each other but you will always be with me. Rest in peace my good friend.

Richie - you sat in front of me for throughout our school years - class reunions will never be the same. I know everyone can agree the world is just a little less brighter without you. Rest in peace my friend - thanks for all the laughs I'm sure you're making them laugh in heaven.

Dear Frank and Cora / Frankie and Pam. My heart goes out to you. Richie was very special to Janet and me. He treated our children like he was their big brother. Through good and difficult times Richie always displayed his big kind generous heart. I close my eyes and see this wonderful kid washing himself with soap under the fire hydrant during our block party and bugging Sadie to bathe. Man did he have a sense of humor. Cora/Frank I love you guys my memories with you will never fade. I pray that God will grant you his peace in your time of mourning. My heart is breaking for you. Love you guys.

Richie, we are going to miss your good mornings on west 4th! I will miss seeing you outside for alternate side while everyone is chit chatting with you. I am glad we got to celebrate one last block party together. You helped so many of us on the block when you could. You never let anyone see what you were going through. You are a presence that will be deeply missed here. May you rest in peace. Love John and Carmela Ferrara

I knew Richie for a short period of time but I did not need a lot of time to realize what a great guy he was. He cared about people in the neighborhood and they cared about him. A good man was taken from us to early. missed

I am so thankful I was able to visit and my children got to meet you. As I write this I am remembering as a child how you would take me and my brother to do fun things, like magic stores, Nelly Bly and getting in trouble on the CB. As a mom it surprises me that my mother let you take us. Yet one of the many memories of you growing up was how my mom loved you. l remember her always coming to your defense and talking about your gentle, good, kind heart. To me you were like an older brother who nagged me, made me laugh and defended me. When I grew up and moved away, I always knew I had a safe place to visit, that you would give me a good well needed dose of reality. You always made me laugh and your laugh was contagious. When I came to know The Lord my heart was burdened for you and the life you were in. Knowing that our Lord is faithful and brought you through hell, to be able to enjoy your family, and life was a huge answer to prayer. It saddens me most for the ones who will not see you each day, but is gives me much joy to know you are with The Lord. You get to be with my mom, and so many other loved ones who are waiting for us. My prayer is for your family. Frank, Cora, Frankie, Pam, May God strengthen you with his perfect peace and comfort. To know this is the beginning and not the end. I love you guys!!! Wish I could be there to give you all huge hugs!!

I remember growing up on 4th St, and although Ritchie was younger he was Frank's little brother, so we would all hang out on the stoop together. My heart goes out to your family and may you rest in peace.

"So many memories come to me when I think back, all of the West 4th street block parties that we had and many others. I remember Richie would say to me, when your family moved in next door you were a little 3 year old riding your bike. We were neighbors and shared the driveway with the Randazzo family. I can remember all of the family parties in the backyard. Cora, Frank, Frankie and Pam, sorry for the loss of such a good person Richie my West 4th street pal."
