I am very sorry to hear about Richy. He was a longtime friend of my husband & me. We met in Chicago at Gits Brothers Mfg & remained friends for over 50 years. I wish I could have talked to him. He'll renew his friendship with my husband. He had a huge heart and would do whatever he could to help anyone. He will be very missed. I knew that that wasn't him that sent the text. So sad.

I am very saddened by the news of Richard's passing. I will always remember him as a cheerful person who always had a smile to help brighten your day. His helpful attitude and easy-going manner were an asset to the community. He will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace.
