My heart is broken for my Uncle Ted and Aunt Ching. Also for my cousins. The last time I saw Richie was when he was little. I know he is with God and Granny Smith. My love and prayers go out to my family and I love you all.

I’ll never forget meeting you at Langley AFB. No disrespect. My very first little boy friend. Such a sweet young man. You and your family moved to DC area. 😞. Then a couple years later my family move to DC area. We always kept in touch until the end my friend. I miss your calls/text. You always cheered me up through my battle with cancer..I don’t know why God always takes the good one’s but.. he must’ve needed a Angel like you. You were a great man Richard aka Richie loved and missed by many. God bless you and your family. I’ll never forget you. Until we meet again. Missy

Hi cousin dear. I wanted to wish you a happy birthday (in heaven). You would have been 48 yrs old today. There is not a day that goes by when John and I don't think about you. We miss you dearly and are still in shock and can't believe you are not here with us. We love you dearly Rich, please kiss Tron and Buster for us as we miss them too! Until we meet again. xoxo

I worked with Smitty back in the 90's at DIA. I was always amazed at his energy and constant "can-do" spirit at work. Great sense of humor and while he had a wild side, there was never a doubt that he had a great depth of compassion and solid character at his core. The world is a little darker with his passing. Death is never easy and it's that much harder when it comes far too soon. My sympathies to the family.

Richie, I could never have the right words to say. I am genuinely blessed to have had a great friend like you and I will remember all the good times. I will miss you my friend. Glad I could help bring you some happiness with the green goblin that you loved so much. Lisa, Taylor and Rico just know that you are all Richie ever cared about, my sincere condolences.

He is only one of two people that ever call me that, it was always appreciated! May god comfort and keep you in your time of need. Richie will always be remembered and missed.

Rich was truely a special person and had a positive impact on my life. I will always love and appreciate him and our times spent together. My condolences to the family, whom I consider to be my family as well. I would not be the person I am today if I did not have your loving positive energy in my life. I'm deeply saddened by his passing and it hurts thinking about what you all are feeling. I know how strong each of you are and how much stronger you are as a unit. Together you will get through this difficult time. For the LOVE of Rich! Until we see one another again, Rest In Peace my Brother.
