So very sorry to hear of his passing. We will miss Uncle Richie! Such warm memories as children playing with our cousins...Christmas, the beach, Moosies... Uncle Richie was always so warm and funny! Our Dad Norman loved him! As adults we enjoyed his comedy and company. Love to you all, miss you! and deep condolences. With Love, Laurel, Gina and Heather and Families xxoo

To my awesome great uncle, the guy who made sure all of our first cars were not lemons, to the guy who always had a smile for you, and a cold beer. You will be missed, but never forgotten.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Rich was a good friend and neighbor. We will truly miss him.

Uncle Richie will be greatly missed by so many. His sense of humor and colloquialisms injected into conversations were always returned with laughter including Richie laughing at what he said. How could he not laugh? In addition to such an enjoyable sense of humor, Richie was very thoughtful and viewed with depth the important aspects of life and how to treat others properly, and led his life in this manner. He personified what it is to be a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle. Family and friends will only have fond memories of Richie and how his presence enriched any occasion. It can be said with certainty Richie lived a full and well led life and let us pray to God that his good soul is in His care.

Richie, you was the best! Wonderful Husband, Father, Grandfather, Father-in-law and brother. Love, Chris & Shirley

My Pop-pop was the most amazing man and grandpa I could ever ask for. He was more than just my pop pop. He was my grandpa, my Elmo watching partner, my personal chauffeur to the playground, my duet partner in the truck when we would drive to school, my caretaker, my second dad who helped me grow up into the woman I am today, and one of my best friends. My favorite memory with my Pop-pop is when we would take our yearly trips to St. Augustine. The condo we used to stay in would leak when there was really bad storms. When the leaking started, he would say "Okay courtney quick! We have to get all the pots and pans to catch the water or the house will flood away!" I would run so fast and put all the pots out with him because I really thought the house was going to float away. It was truly one of my favorite childhood memories that I remember so perfectly. I also loved our Sand City Sundays when we would all sit on the beach talking, laughing, and having a good time. Pop-pop and my Dad would always lose track of how much beer they would drink and I always remember when they would start to get too drunk because they would just stare at each other and smile. I always thought that was really funny even when I was little. Pop pop taught me so many life lessons that have led me to all of my success. He taught me to always work hard for what I want in life and to do something that will make a difference in the world. He also taught me that family is everything and that there is nothing more important. I can only hope to raise my future family exactly how he did because it is something so special that I am so grateful to be apart of. Every single day for the rest of my life I will thank God for allowing me to have him as my Pop-pop. I truly am the luckiest girl in the world to have had a grandfather so involved in my life and for raising me. Even though he has entered heaven and is now with God and everyone else who has passed in his life, I know that he is always with me and going to continue to help guide me through life. I loved him with all my heart and going to miss him beyond words. I love you Pop-pop, thank you for everything❤️ Until we meet again soon XOXO With all my love, Courtney ❤️

I love you Pop-Pop! Thank you for everything you have done for me! You are the best Pop-Pop ever and I am so blessed to have had you in my life. I love you so much! Love, Dale ❤️
