Uncle Ritchie was a 2nd father to me as I grew up living upstairs from him. Aunt Rose and Uncle Ritchie are the glue that has kept our family so close over all of the years. The love among our family members is strong and we have Rosie and Ritchie to thank for the role that they have played in our lives.  We love you and will miss you.  Diane and Alan

Always greeting you with a smile and a warm handshake or pat on the back, Uncle Ritchie was always a man to be admired. With strong devotion to his immediate and extended family, he would offer anything to anyone (particularly a good cocktail on Christmas Eve). Thinking of Gary and Aunt Rosie during this difficult time, but everyone can take condolence in remembering a life well-lived.

I have great love for this great man...he shared his home and family with all of his relatives and friends at birthday time when his boys were young and Christmas Eves that were the special party of the year...he brought us laughter and joy and memories that we will carry in our lives  forever...He and Aunt Rosie and Gregg & Gary always made us feel special...RIP, Uncle Rich
