Dear Cathy. So sorry to hear of Richard's passing. My condolences go out to you and your Family. I can't help but go back to the 60s. We hung out together in school, on the church corner, in our " the Ventures " guitar band, went snowmobiling, boating, cruising in the Chevy, and did our share of partying with the good old East End gang. Richard was a smart guy in school and a talented man in his trade as a Carpenter. But most importantly he was great friend, a good man and I would imagine great family man. Rest in peace my friend. Sam Oppedisano.
