I'm saddened by the shocking news about Richie. I grew up with him and kinda kept in touch with him, through the years. We were both on Romper Room , and we had a fun childhood together. I'm so sorry for his family's loss and what a loss it must be. See you on the other side, my friend. I love you!! Tracy Kolkman
