Rest in peace Richie
I have known you since my childhood and you always had the kind word and smile when we saw each other. Copperfield Drive, the Shell station ( original one on Arena drive) the book cases that you made my parents, always calling me Urbie ( nickname for Urban) , so many memories that go back at least 50 yrs . I haven't seen you in some years but I would bet that if we did you would have had that same smile and kind expression of friendship.
You never forgot where we came from and always treated me with such respect.
You will never be forgotten
