Oh Richard, I'm so sorry. We shared some good times and some tough times but I always hoped the best for you. There are so many memories. Lacey still looks at every truck that drives by thinking it's you. I have heard from many who were not able to make the service and you are missed. I know you live on in the neighborhood through all the houses you worked on. There aren't many you didn't touch.I hope you are at peace.

My love for Richie goes back to our teenage years.  We met in Bergton, Va. and had an instant connection.  We were apart for many years but reconnected a few  years ago and it was like we were teenagers again.  I will always hold near to my heart our relationship and always remember our special times together.  I hope he has found peace.  I will always love him and he will always have a special place in my heart.  

I have loved Richie since we met in our teenage years in Bergton, Va.  We were apart for many years but then we reconnected and it was like we had never been apart.  He was such a special person to me and always will be.  I will never forget our special times together because we always had a true connection.  Richie, I hope you have found peace.  I will always love you and you will always have a special place in my heart.

My love for Richie goes all the way back to our teenage years.  We met in the mountains of Bergton, Va and we had a permanent connection.  We were apart for many years but then we reconnected several years ago.  It was like we had never been apart.  I am at a total loss for words over this because I just found out today.  I hope Richie has found peace.  I will always love him and I will never forget our special times together.  Love Always Teresa Sager Ettinger

My prayers go out to Richie's parents, daughter, family, and friends. I got rides to and from Longwood from Richie. A truly kind and good guy. RIP.

So sorry to hear about my  childhood friend Richie!  Great memories of our time at Edison High School and working on his Father's 1964 1/2 mustang at his parents garage. He will be missed.

I loved hanging with you and Sherry in high school - you were always such a sweet and kind guy - wish I would have made it to the 2011 reunion and reconnected with you - rest well my friend you are definitely in a better place

May God's loving kindness and comfort help you and your family through this very sad time Psalms 29:11

May your soul be at rest. We will meet again my friend.

Our friendship with Richie goes way back.  Brian and I have shared many memories of Richie.  As there were years that went by when all of us were out of touch but when we were reunited it was like we never missed a beat.  Richie and I shared many hours talking, supporting each other, laughing and crying.  He never failed ME as a friend.  As there were tough times to love Richie, he and I had a friendship that always remained.  I am grateful for Richie being a part of getting Brian and I back together.  For that we are grateful to have been friends with Richie.  May your soul be at peace now Richie.  Forever friends, Bambi and Brian Rohr
