Nina and Family, We are so very sorry for the loss of your dear Richard, what a great guy! Many laughs shared being neighbors at the beach. My funniest memory was my Mom babysitting the dog when you had an errand to run. She asked me to take the dog for a walk, but be careful, he is blind. When you came back to the beach I said to Richard, this dog must be getting his sight back, he didn't miss a trick. He walked me around the campground!
You guys laughed so hard, saying he is not blind, he can't hear!!! We will miss Richard, that's for sure!!! Love Jo-Anne & and the rest of the Keane Family Children. xoxoxo

Although I knew Ritchie was sick I wanted to believe I would see him at the beach this summer. Summers spent at the beach in Rhode Island will not be the same without him and his infectious energy. He was constantly busy and on the move throughout the campground, buzzing from door to door, helping all his friends all the while making us laugh. But, he would never stay for too long because he did not want to be away from his beloved wife, Nina.
