Richard was kindness personified. He kept my cars on the road and was always available.  I'm grateful to have known him all theses years

I was trying to find something I saved that would be appropriate. Rich always loved local history -- especially relating to Gallon Measure and Gallagher's. I am thankful for a few of the local photos I have from him. Condolences to his family. Tom

My condolence to the Fay family.  I was a customer of Gallon Measure for many years since Richard was the only mechanic I trusted with my 69 Buick Wildcat.  Over the years  I developed a friendship with Richard with many memories of guy talks about cars. Richard will surely be missed .

Sending sincere condolences and hugs to all of you.
May Richard rest in peace and may his memory live on, in all of you.

Over the course of years  of knowing Richie,  I always came away with the sense of being in the presence of a friend,  a good business man  and, most of all, a gentleman.  I will certainly miss him

Prayers for your family 🙏🙏

Dear Debbie, Meredith and Deidre,
So sorry to hear about one of the best Volleyball supporting dad’s ever, passing this week. I am away with my family for the week and so sorry to miss his service. There are so many fond memories i have of him and all of you. I really appreciate so many wonderful times both on and off the court with him. I am  forever grateful for his support of our program and the love he always expressed for his family. A true gentleman and such a kind heart. Shouldn’t we all always have the same smile he shared with so many people.  Please know you are all in my prayers, and I am sending love to all of you.
Fondly,
Coach Swertfager

Randy, Francy, and David, sorry to hear of the loss of your brother and my friend.
We sure had fun in the 50s and 60s White beach, vacations like lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire and others. Then came the aviation era with our dads buying and renting out planes at Dutchess airport.
And we had the hot rod and classical car times.  I’m still wrapped up in it here in CA.
My latest a 40 Plymouth coupe.
Anyway, back to Dick. He took care of lots of Bell family cars over the years.
Love you all and may he rest in peace in the love of his Heavenly Father Jesus for eternity.
We’ll gather there one day again.
Mike Bell
