I went to Aurora Elementary school with Richie.
Years later we crossed paths again in Aurora when I was visiting.
My memory of him is one of a gentle soul.

Angie, Been ups and downs but you loved each other and I am sorry for our loss. Rich helped me pick those grapes when the storm was coming in and no one else was there to help. Hugs and love to you, Carol Doolittle

Angie, I am so sorry for your loss, It has been a very long time since I have seen you but remember when Rich would often stop by our break room way back when in Morrison hall. Angie I wish there was something I could say or do to ease the pain, I know just how hard this is as I myself went through this 6 years ago myself. If there is anything I can do please let me know. God bless, you are in my thoughts and prayers. ED
