So sad to here of Richie's passing. I worked with Richie for many years at NJ Bell/Verizon in Newark. Laura and I were also friends of Sue and Richie. His pleasant manner and big smile always made for a better day. We will miss Richie very much. The world is a little less bright with Richie's passing. I will miss a good friend.
May God bless Sue and her family.

To the Ippolito Family at this sorrowful time, my prayers and sincere sympathy go out to you. Dick and I were childhood friends and we lived at the same address in East Orange, NJ. Dick and I played together almost every day. We enjoyed baseball and other games in Elmwood Park. Dick & I were always on the same team! We also enjoyed our Stamp Club and we met once a week, with Lynnie, and enjoyed our stamp collections. Our moms renamed us the Refreshment Club! Dick made my childhood as happy as it was. He will be missed I'm sure, but never from our hearts.

Richard was a good friend and neighbor for years in Eatontown. We spent many good times together at each others houses at parties and get togethers. He and I shared an interest in photography. My life was made better for having known him. Rest in peace my friend.
