Dear Gene & Camille
I am very sorry to hear about your loss. While he only lived for a short time, he was able to leave many, many positive marks behind something many of us who live many years longer are unable to do. Although I never had the pleasure of meeting "Gene" personally, I have heard so many nice things about him. My deepest sympathy.

Dear Richichi Family:
Every parent and sister is feeling your unbearable pain. Andy's beautiful tribute on UTube captured these wonderful young boys that I remember so well from our children's Meadow Hill School days... They all grew into such wonderful adults and you must be very proud. The death of your son has made a huge impact on all who were fortunate enough to have ever made his warm and loving acquaintance, and we pray the grace of God will give you peace and comfort during this tragic time.

Geno,
I can still remember attending nursery school with you right down the road from your house. Our paths crossed so early on in our lives that it has been extremely hard to accept that you are gone. Your heart and personality were larger than life. I will never forget you and our childhood together. My only regret is that we lost touch over the years, but I know we will meet again someday. Please look over the boys as all of us miss you dearly.

Geno,
I am still stunned to know that you're gone. All my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family, and my heart goes out to you all. Although we've been apart these last few years, I always looked forward to the day we'd meet again and catch up with each other. I know this day will still come, I'll just have to wait a little longer. We shared many adventures growing up and shared a million laughs. I'll always remember your passion for life and adventure. Your smile is burned in my memory and will never fade. You are my friend, my brother and my General. I miss you already! Watch over us from heaven!
