I grew up with Dick on 16th Avenue ,Belmar. Went to Belmar Grammar and MHS with him. He was the greatest and had a wonderful sense of humor.I saw him about 10 yrs ago and chatted on phone a few yrs back. Always the same and always remembered his friends. what more can a person ask for and leave with his family and friends? Sympathy to his family. He was tired and may he rest in peace.

"Uncle" Dick was one of my favorite people to visit as a kid when we made our way from PA to the Jersey Shore. He was an extraordinary man and will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace.

Dear family,
It was nice to spend time talking to Rich when I was in the area. We both enjoyed our visits and looked back on some good times. He was so proud of his family, after that it was Frankie Laine and football.
My deepest sympathy to all.
