You cannot replace friends that leave us. Instead, we carry their memories along with us. God bless Richard.

The ultimate professional attorney of asset preservation. Had three daughters and he prepared me for the 5 son in laws that I would probably eventually have. We were two steps ahead of the game as they were 6,4, and 2. Remembering our time together at the shooting club. My best to his extended family during this difficult time.

Yesterday there were so many beautiful sentiments voiced by a such a diverse group of people who's lives Richard Calone touched.
Law folk, skeet shooters & hunters, new friends & old friends so many gathered at a lovely mass and beautiful lunch to honor Rich Calone on his birthday and mark his passing with love and support for Sharon and his 5 children.
A true celebration of life.

Mr. Calone was always supportive and engaging and had a sincere happiness in his relationships with his clients and friends. I learned a great deal from him and his passion for history, sport, cars and great people.

Rich's "Cannon Mouth" and swagger may have deceived some, but at his core he was always morally strong, righteous, and absolutely dependable. A better friend you could not abide. We all will miss his principles and character.

Rich was a truly great friend and mentor to me. I’m forever indebted to him for the opportunities he gave me in business and the many lessons in taxation. He was passionate about going “above and beyond “ for his clients. He taught me to never give up, even when the odds were against us. He was a winner. Most importantly , he was a friend.
