Richard, my brother from another mother. We first met in 1971, 50 years ago. Ah the storys we had and making each other laugh til it felt like our ribs were broke. You pulling my pants down at the bus stop going to High School with all the girls looking out the window and laughing at me. But then came pay back. I waited 2 weeks to get you back when your Ma-Ma bought you new pants that were too tight so when I pulled them down at the bus stop all I did was rip your 2 back pockets off and both sides of your butt were hanging out with your white underwear. Then my Mom had to buy you new pants. No matter how much trouble we got in, we could always sing and sing til the sun came up and I always new you were the 5th Beatle. Rest in peace and always remember when we left each other we always said, "love you man". And I still do. Your buddy, Kevin.

Love you pappy miss u a lot , i just smoked a fat blunt for you

My heart is very heavy knowing that you're gone. I wish healing vibes to all your family and friends. You will be missed by many. RIP Richard.

I'm so sorry for your loss, he is in a better place now and having the time of his life. I didn't know this man that well but he was a great man from what I did know of him and he will be missed by many.

It’s not gonna be the same without you Richard, I’m gonna miss you. I already do. You had more to offer than you may have realized. I learned a lot from you. You were a good father in law, especially for me personally. And you were a good friend. I really enjoyed our conversations, hanging out on the front porch and listening to music. Thanks for caring the way you did. I love you man. I hope we meet again.

When we visited you in the hospital. 💪💪💪 strong man

I love you very much my dear friend! Until we meet again, you will always be in my heart!!!

Dear Richard , when were there cuz I know it by heart it's this I know that you're not here your favorite time of year is Thanksgiving and Christmas Thanksgiving and Christmas will never be the same without you I remember last year making the plates with Mahmood and you kept asking for play after plate we finally had to cut you off it was so very funny the way Muhammad said it I also remember you riding your bike to Tarrytown and to deer Park just to see Becky myself and all three grandchildren I remember when we lived in the White House on Jefferson avenue when Becky was married to Moz that we shared the upstairs bedrooms together you had one room I have the other we made the little for your room in the middle a living room with two chairs and a table for people to come upstairs and talk and we had a bathroom I remember when you were never there I thought it was haunted so I never slept upstairs until you came there I remember no matter what crazies or stupid stunt I had pulled and landed myself in the hospital or pregnant you were always there I remember when my dad gave up on me you put your arm around me out back and told me you know I love you and I consider you my daughter I remember a lot more crazy things that I won't post but I'll just hold those into my heart I also remember that you never missed Christmas or Thanksgiving or birthday for anybody not even most your grandchildren you were there for the every graduation every birthday every Halloween everything no matter how you had to get there you were there there's so many more memories I could share but there's not enough space in the world to hold all the goodness that you carried with you so therefore I'll be leaving this note behind and the memories left in my heart and thoughts I know your 👣 are walking beside me carrying me along through life until we meet again I love you Dad.

My deepest sympathy to Richard's family and friends. I have known Richard since he was in high school. He and my son Kevin were the best of friends. Richard was at our home most of the time and ate supper with us many many nights, when his mom had to work late. Every time I would ask him if he wanted to eat with us he would always ask me "what are you having" even tho' he and I both would knew he was going to eat with us no matter what I was cooking. God Bless you Richard

I will never stop loving you Dad . I will never stop thinking about you . My life is forever changed because your not here anymore , I regret so much but I know we had good times and I know you loved me with every beat of you heart . I love you to and I can’t wait to see you again , I’m reading a book now about afterlife so I can reach her somehow , I know you would have loved this book . I’m gonna get to you I promise , please leave me signs and clues , I’m looking and waiting for you , we always had synchronicity between both of us and I know that you’re going to show your self to me soon….love Becky

I'm so going to miss our talks, laugh's and cries. I pray and hope you know how much I love you and how much you really got me to open my mind up and see things differently. We had some great times and great conversations and I'm going to miss it all! With all my love. You are missed beyond words. RIP my dear friend ❤️🙏
