Richard was a wonderful man. Great friend and a pleasure to know. We got very close over the years going to doctors together and spending holidays and special occasions together. He will be missed for years to come. May you rest in peace and feel no more pain my friend.

I worked with Richard for many years at Columbus School in  Bridgeport. He was a wonderful mentor to me  in the teaching of mathematics, collecting and reviewing data, coordination of after school programming and as a wonderful friend.  His office was in a closet with no window, yet he never complained about it.  After many years, he finally received his window installed in his office and he was happy! We worked many summers and after school together with the Lighthouse Program. He was kind, smart, musically talented and humble. He was the first one to send me a holiday card each year which I always looked forward to. I’ll  miss our friendship. He was the best!

 Thank you for being there for me and for your colleagues and students in Bridgeport. Most of those 40 years, Dick had perfect attendance!  Thanks for everything Dick!

I had the pleasure of working with Richard for many years as part of the Math Department and Columbus School.  He was an amazing mentor to me and many young teachers at Columbus School. Best of all, I shared the stage with him in many band performances with the Stratford Community Band and other groups. Richard will truly be missed but his memories will live deep inside all of us who shared great times with him.

Richard you were a good friend who was.kind but never took credit
Sometimes you brought out my Skippy  but we always remained friends 
You will surely be missed.

I worked with Dick for years in Bridgeport and played in his band. He was a great friend over the years. I am sorry to learn of his passing.
