Thank you Richard for being a great brother! I will miss your great smile our Sunday breakfast and our Knotts Berry Farm dinners! I’m grateful for those memories and was looking forward to building more! They will forever be in my heart! I miss you so much! I love you brother!

          Thank you Richard for being my sister’s best friend, soul mate and love of her life, and for treating her with care, respect and dignity. From the love that you shared together you created an outstanding family beginning with three sons then three daughters-in-law then six granddaughters, not to mention all the extended family members. What a clan!
          Testament to the warmth and care you showed to others was the number of people who could not let time go by without remembering you in their own special way for the difference you made in this crazy world and in each of our lives. 
          Miss you. Miss your smile. Miss your softness. Miss your open heart. 
                                                                                                       Love,
                                                                                                       Marilyn

Uncle Richard was a sweet man.  I remember a party for the family at my grandma's house that Aunt Pat and Uncle Richard came to.  All them men played darts, the women got the food ready and did the cooking, and the kids played in the yard.  Its a great memory. Uncle Richard, you will be missed by me and my family.  Aunt Pat, you and the family will always be in my thoughts and prayers.  Love you all.  From Mike and Dotee Lee.

My sister in laws’  brother Richard.  Fortunate to have met you so many many years ago .   Although I  saw you only now and again at family gatherings, you always made a point to catch up with me.  My memories will be all the great stories you told in our getting caught up from the last time we saw each other.  Of late, you made me smile always asking me when I would be retiring!!!  Richard, Rest In Peace.  You will surely be missed!  Jeannie

The gratitude I have in my heart for Richard and Pat is immeasurable. I lived in California for 7 years, and during that time they took me in and treated me like family.  
Even after I moved back to Pennsylvania, Richard cheered me on while things in my life went well, and he was always there for me when things fell apart. 
I’ll miss sharing a meal with Richard where most of our conversations about work, school, and sports took place. 
I am so happy my wife Laura and daughter Catalina were able to meet Richard, and that he inspired them the same way he inspired me. 
The picture I attached says it all - Richard sitting at the head of the table with my family, and all of my California friends. 

Richard was a kind and thoughtful person. I know that his wife and family will miss him dearly. 

Richard was a great friend to our family and he will be deeply missed.  My dad and Richard shared many laughs and made many memories while working at Daily Saw and I know my dad cherished his friendship with Richard.  He will always be in our hearts and memories. Lots of Love~

Richard was such a wonderful father figure to my husband, Sal. He gave him direction and encouragement in such a loving way. He was a gentle and kind soul. I remember him sitting on the floor in their house with our daughter Catalina, playing with the Mickey Mouse toys they got for her.  I was so touched how he treated her like one of his own grandchildren and the smile that he had on his face as he spent time with her.  I'm so thankful for the acceptance, love and guidance that Richard showed me as well and I'll miss his fatherly presence very much. 

The day that you have left us to be the lord, we could not understand why but only God know. We are going to  miss your smile, friendship,  share story of each other and the sport talks. All the people that have come to know you are sad. Richard,  you are a wonderful person, friendly and kind. May you rest in peace buddy's.  We are going to miss you so dearly ❤. 

I am grateful for the many years of fond memories with my wonderful uncle! He was so special to so many people, and I know that we will all miss him dearly. His love and dedication to his family will hold a special place in my heart.  I will remember him always as a happy man with a jolly laugh who was loved by many! 

Richard you will be greatly missed, until we meet again in heaven. God bless and comfortable your family, Amen 

Pat and family
    Met Richard every winter at the Palm Desert condo. Appreciated
the care & concern he gave me as I was able to enjoy the warm 
winter months. 
My sympathy to you all

You were the best father-in-law a girl could hope for, and the best grandpa for our girls. They miss you so much already; your tickles, calling them “peanuts”, and FaceTiming with them for an hour during the pandemic when they didn’t want to hang up.  Thank you for always feeling so close even when we were a thousand miles away.  Until we meet again.... we’ll have a long talk and a Bud Light. 

We work together for 20 years .  I always enjoyed chatting with Richard about our sons and wives and everything that was happening in our lives , their sports and how much we loved them.
He was a wonderful co worker, his smile will be missed.  Rest in peace Richard


Dad was a constant in my life. A son couldn't ask for more.  I miss you every day. 

You taught me how to ride a bike, coached my soccer teams, answered a million home improvement questions, and loved going to concerts (almost) as much as I do. If I’m a good dad it’s because of you. Here’s to you - Thanks for always putting your family first.

  Many times over the years Richard said to us, when I'm gone I don't want a sad affair. I want you to raise your glass and say a toast. So here's to you honey,  "To a life well lived but too short. I love you forever."
