To my NJ Family,
I am sorry to hear about Richie passing so young. I have great memories of attending his wedding with my cousin Dawn. I was rather young but I remember having such a good time with this family that I didn't see often. Sending kind thoughts and prayers.
My condolences to the family. I have many memories of Richie when we were all kids.
Please accept our deepest sympathies on Richie's passing. My family and I remember him fondly and always enjoyed his company. He clearly loved his family and having fun. We will keep you all in our prayers. Love, Dee & Scott, Gladys King, Allie Gill, Rachel & Scotty Vogel.
May God bless and comfort you at this sad time.
I have many fond memories of Richie and they all include Richie's smile and an easy going manner. Always encouraging to me and my son's and quick to offer his help. A kind and caring uncle and a friend to me.
To put it simply, he was a really good guy.
He will be missed.
I will really miss you brother. I have so many special memories of us growing up & spending time together through the years. You will always have a part of my heart. Rest In Peace dear brother. Love you always & forever.
