Oh Richie, I'm so sorry to hear of your passing. I remember our times together like they were yesterday. So many hrs riding around in the gold LeMans, listening to music, making teenage plans for after HS, and drinking a beer or 2. I will forever remember your smile and laugh, and the best friendship a girl could have asked for. Life happens and people loose touch, but one never forgets those who were so special to them growing up. I love ya Richie, and hope you found your peace. Prayers to Linda and the family. Until we meet again......

Richie was a good guy. We use to hang out when we were Young and just lost track of each other as we grew older. He was good to everybody and I say with great sadness that I will miss him. He's in a good place now. Prayers go out to his kids and family. I am so sorry for your loss.
