So sad to hear of weavers losing a great person. He always new our name and what we needed, we would order things for camping trips and he would call say I got it ready for you. Loved his great customer service always friendly I don't know if anyone can do the job he did. My deepest sympathy to his wife daughter and all his coworkers and friends that known him. Rest in peace Rich.

Oh my goodness what a loss to our community. Rich always made me feel special everytime I walked into Weaver's Butcher Shop in Wellsville. They don't make them like you anymore, my friend. Rest in peace.

My sincerest condolences out to Richies entire family during this most difficult of times. If it helps bring comfort to the family to know how much Richie meant to me and all his friends! His smile and personality could light up a room and he will sorely be missed by all those who knew him. I attached a picture of my Camaro (right) that Richie asked me to bring to the Weavers of Wellsville customer appreciation and and car show end of May of 2025. He called me last minute asking if I could bring a car and I told him, "For you, anything my friend!". Will miss him tremendously!

Rich was a very kind, hard working man. His collecting of numerous things was part of what made him special! Anything from motorcycles to bicycles to tractors to trucks he collected it all. Very sad to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family, coworkers and friends. Great guy!
