Richard David Rosenthal

We didn't know him! Our church, First Baptist of Apopka, honored the 20th Anniversary of 9/11 and passed out names of those who died in the horrible bombing at our World Trade Center and we got his name and have been praying for his family every day!!

It's been too many years since this tragic event. I tear everytime I think of it, and today, the anniversary date it is just the worst.
I am so sorry....
Richie was, and always will be my Boston University roomate, along with Judd Morgan.
The three of us living in Brighton, had quite a year with all the fun a craziness that went with college. Richie enjoyed life, he enjoyed life. He loved Loren soooo much, like something I had never seen before.... Richie was smart.. he knew when to play, and he knew when to study.... He was a best friend. He is a best friend to me ...forever.
I loved Richie, and I love all the people that
surrounded his life .
I am sorry....sorry that this happened.... but not sorry for sharing time on this earth with Richie.
With love, Steve B.

Richard,

We had a long relationship together.

We went to school together,we were in the same cub scout den together and we were in the same Jewish fraternity together, AZA, when we went to Clifton High School.

I know you were a good family man and fulfilled the mitzvah, a good deed in Hebrew, of marriage and supporting a family, so important in our religion.

May God bless you and your family forever.

Richard was a lot of fun to work with on our project in St. Louis; we discovered we had the same birthday in May.

I met Rich in St Louis in 1997. He was wonderful to work with and a lot of fun. We will never forget him. Today my FB page is dedicated to you Rich.

Today on Facebook I used the new app that lets you dedicate your post to a victim of the 9/11 attacks. The app randomly chose Richard. I spent a little time after reading about him here - who he was and what his loved ones said about him. I love that he was a kid at heart.

To Richard's wife and two sons, your husband and father seemed like a very special man. I'm sure your time with him was blessed.

Love, Amy

From an AZA brother,

You always lit up the meetings with your jokes, your humor, and your fun loving ways.

Yet you contributed insightfully to the discussions and made a real difference to our fraternity.

Rest In Peace My Friend.

Happy belated Birthday!!!

Happy belated Birthday!!!

As I cross-stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.

In remembrance....

Dear Rich,

I met you in St Louis on the Deutsche Bank Project. You were always laughing and smiling and you brought much joy to our Team. I only found out in 2004 that you were among the fallen. I was devastated by the news. And I remembered how much you loved your family and how much they must be missing you.

Farewell, my friend.

NEVER EVER TO BE FORGOTTEN

A wonderful father and husband.



Always in heart and quite thoughts.

It's been three years and the pain has not changed. To my cousin Lauren and her family you are being watched over by many. May G-D continue to give you the strength and support you need to continue.



I wear the memorial bracelet for Rich and it is constant reminder oh how important family is in our every

day life.



Please know you are not alone and we will never ever forget or let is memory die

I am thinking of you and your family every year on this date.

My prayers include you as well. You were a good colleague and a great guy

On September 9th Loren and Richard stopped by the Gift Shop just to schmooze. That's a moment I will never forget. We laughed. We kibitzed. We talked. Just two days before everything changed. It was fun.

The one thing that struck me about Rich was the love he had for his children and wife. I asked him once how he and Loren met and he took great pride in telling me, like it was yesterday. He loved bringing Seth to work, then we would go to lunch. It is all so sad! Many DB colleagues were thinking and praying for your family today.

MY HEART ACHES FOR THE ROSENTHAL

FAMILY. MAY THE NEW YEAR BRING JOY AND HAPPINESS. RICHARD MAY BE GONE,BUT HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN

You had a large impact on many people's lives. You could witness this by the devestation so many felt upon your passing. My family talks, laughs, remembers and thinks about you all the time. On the one year memorial of your death, may you Rest In Peace.

I still recall the events of that awful day. I not only recall them, but,often my mind and heart relive them. I cannot help but think of you, dear colleague. I pray you rest in peace. I pray that you are the angel that now sits on the shoulders of your wife and sons, rendering them support and confidence when they are down or having cumbersome days. Smile upon us Rich! Think of me on our Birthdays as I will be thinking of you. As you rest in the arms of our creator, pray that all effected by those senseless acts stay faithful to their god, country and self. Be well, dear friend. You are missed. Frank

I didn't know the man but I did know the kid. We grew up together on Fernwood Court. I was the same age as his sister Audrey and my heart goes out to her. Remember the good times Audrey with the rest of the kids from the block..Lucretia, August, Allen, Pamela, Wendy, Beth, Claire, Joan and Barbara. You can be very proud of your brother, may he rest in peace!

What a tragic loss!

Such a tragic loss.

Keep all the wonderful memories of him that made you smile and laugh alive always.

In my thoughts..........Ella Pasquariello/Schwartz xo

May God bless you and the family and friends that you left behind on 9/11/01. May you rest in peace forever more.

The Yirce Family

I'm glad that the NY Times announced this site. Never having met Richard or his family, we nonetheless knew about this terrific man. All of us who are affected by Familial Dysautonomia are eternally grateful for his years of dedication to helping our kids.



Our hearts & prayers go to Loren, EVAN & Seth.



The Rappaport Family

Barrie, Rick, MICHELLE & Jessica

Our sons, Evan and Michael were huge fans of wrestling. When they watched the WWF matches together, Richard and I would marvel and laugh at the amazing exuberance of our two kids as they immersed themselves so fully in the unfolding TV melodrama. I knew Richard as a kind, generous and humorous man who was an avid supporter of the CP Center where I worked. This is such a tragedy. Four months later I still cannot believe it. Sadly, the horror of loved ones taken from us so suddenly illustrates a profound lesson to try keep in our hearts – to always live for the moment. My love to Richard's family,

- Larry

Richie was a wonderful man.



I remember him as always having kind words.



He is today among the best.

What a wonderful story of Richard's man-kid life full of zest. We are deeply sorry for your loss of Richard. Our hearts cry with you.

America Cries

We see your sorrow-

and our hearts cry....

We can not erase your pain

but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-

-the American people-

are beside you.

We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,

the strength that gives you courage,

and the words to lighten your spirits.

And when we are left speechless

may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts

to ease your sorrow.

May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-

-the American people-

face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn
