Betsy & Andrew

I’m so sorry for the loss of your father.  I have great memories of both your mom and dad at my parent’s parties. They were always so kind and engaging.  Sending much love to both of you. 

Betsy and Andrew,

Betsy & Andrew-
Sending love and prayers during this very difficult time. Uncle Richie will be missed by all that knew him. I will always remember his contagious laugh and welcoming presence. May his memory be a blessing. RIP Uncle Richie.
All my Love.


Richie, thank you for giving me work for the last 5 years, I will always remember you and carry many memories in my heart, as an excellent person with a big heart, impeccable with cleanliness, your house always had an impeccable shine, very organized with your things, I admired the exercise routine, his healthy food... rest in peace Richie.

With much love Ana Valladares.


So grateful for the memories of our trip to Italy! Glad we made this happen after 30 years of talking about doing it! Spending time together at the villa in Tuscany was priceless. Annie cooked eggs for breakfast with herbs from the garden! Richie carried the wicker laundry basket from the house to the clothesline hidden among the bushes! We laughed, we drank, we ate, we danced! If there is a heaven, we hope to meet again.

On one of our Florida trips,  we took airboat rides in the Everglades. We didn’t see one alligator until the guide produced a baby one for us to hold! Richie got a kick out of that!

Friends for almost 50 years, six of us we brought together in 1974 by Rabbi Roy Rosenberg who had married all of us and endeavored to form a faith congregation that welcomed interfaith couples.  We became instant friends and have remained close throughout the years.  Richie and Anne belonged to our family of friends. We will miss them forever. ❤️❤️

Richie you will missed by us all. 

Betsy, Andrew and Ann may you find peace in your Dad’s loving memory.  

With our Deepest Sympathy,

Rob, Lynette , Dom, Carol and Gloria Marronaro

Over a good meal w/a glass of Red Wine, there was NO better Guest than Richie. 🍷
I wish we’d done it Every Weekend…

I so wish I’d met Richie when I first moved to Flushing in 2009…  but SO grateful for the times he shared w/us & my Family. 🍷
I shall never forget him.  He was stellar. 💫

Richie loved to eat, and we've had a lot of great meals together he would order food and he would say I have to order the food that has the most calories.

Richie is a gem, a good neighbor, a great friend. Somebody who you could depend on. Was always on time. We became very good friends in the past 5 years. A lot of food many drinks good times great conversations a lot of laughs. I will truly miss him very much and will think of him often with all the good times that we had. Love you Richie

One of the wonderful times over the years  we had together. I will miss him forever..

So many joyful times together with Richie and Susie.  They were there in San Diego to share this special birthday celebration for George and there in Tucson at our new home.
We could always count on Richie to figure out how to fix something around the house that needed repair.  He was smart and very handy with our only tools, a hammer, pliers, and screwdriver. 
We loved him and will miss him.

Uncle Richie,
May your  family reunion in heaven be as joyful as they were here on earth . 

Love always, 

Elizabeth and Whitney
