I met Richie through family members. He was a kind person. I will always remember his tag sales and how much he loved finding new items to add to his collections. He spoke often of his grandchildren and how he enjoyed babysitting for them. He will be missed.

i am deeply saddened by the passing of my cousin. When we were fresh and youthful, full of promise and spirit, we were close. Over the years I have reflected on what I thought was the simplicity of our lives.we would discuss matters of seemingly important family reflections. This we kept to ourselves. A gentle soul, concerned with others more than himself. I will forever miss the relationship that was new to the world and only could have ripened with the passage of time. Forever slumber in peace cousin ! We shall speak again, of this I am sure !
