The world lost the kindest heart and sweetest soul in Richie. He genuinely cared about everyone he met, and their families! He'll truly be missed, but I'll always keep a bit of his kindness and compassion with me!

Richie was such a shining star in this sometimes dull world. His huge personality was able to light up a room. He had a rare quality to make everyone he spoke to feel like they were the most important person to him. He always took the time to really talk with people and his genuine care and concern were so obvious. You always knew he was really listening when you talked. He wanted everyone to be as happy as he was...always with a smile...leaving others smiling too! He will be so missed!

Very hard to put into words how much Richie meant to me and my family. Over the last few years talking to Richie became part of my daily routine. We would usually chat for an hour about all different topics. He tried talking about sports but I'd usually change the subject to movies and celebrities! I loved to tell him that most of the Adam Sandler movies stunk but Richie loved them all. That was one of his special qualities, Richie enjoyed everything he did, he found something positive in everything and everyone. He was always telling me how proud he was of my children and was always giving them words of encouragement. Everyday I have something new to tell Richie and I am so sad he's not here for me to call. He is missed by my family.

I am so saddened by the loss of Richie. When the stress of life would weigh down on me I would remember my conversations with Richie and the joy he experienced from a simple phone call and talking about his family. No conversation went by without multiple "I love you's" from Richie. It served and will continue to serve as a reminder of the important things in life. He was the sweetest, most loving person I know. His loss will leave a huge hole in our family, but we are thankful for having had him in our lives.

Richie, I am very lucky to have known you for as long as I can remember and to have grown up with you as a part of my life. You were the kindest, sweetest person I have ever met. I will remember how much you loved every member of our family, and how much we love you. We miss you so much.

Dana, words can't express how deeply sorry I am to hear about Richie's passing. I felt truly connected to him. He made me smile and made to laugh and was truly a wonderful person. My prayers are with you and your family at this time. Richie was truly blessed to have you as his Mom.

We have lost a loving and gentle spirit. If you knew him you could not help but love him and he would willingly return his love to you. I am already feeling the loss of his inquisitive and joyful personality from my life. Richie, have a peaceful and worry free rest. Love, Uncle Bill

Our hearts are broken from the loss of our dear Richie. He was so kind and thoughtful, loving and caring and so devoted to his family. He was full of love for everyone. He made each person he spoke to feel special. He had such a sweet and gentle spirit. There are so many things we will miss now that he has passed. We'll miss his voice, his laugh, his smile, his amazing memory, his joy and those wonderful conversations. We will miss him. We love you Richie. God Bless you. Rest In Peace
