I grew up down the block from Rich and was his paperboy when his kids were toddlers. He was always a friendly guy who would welcome you with a beaming smile that I’ll never forget! As I got older I still regarded him as “the hub” of Thelma ave! The world is a little darker without him!! My deepest condolences to his family. He will forever be in my memories!❤️❤️
God bless you Rich. I hope we meet again!

I will always remember our trips to Shelter Island and having fun with Rich and Linda. He was a kind, generous and thoughtful person. I was lucky to have known him for the past few years. I'm certain because of his tremendous faith, he is a new star in heaven watching over us .Until we meet again my friend,rest well .

Richie, we were friends for almost 40 years and we shared many great memories together. We started out at CYO soccer games, attended many strategy sessions at the Tree House and shared thousands of laughs. Sunday afternoons during football season meant visiting neighborhood watering holes to watch the Giants and Jets lose once again. July meant your block party which always was an excellent time for family and friends to get together and share many many laughs. Lastly, you are at peace in Heaven, save a tee time for Rick and me. Love and miss you Brother. Ed
