"Richie was such a positive person in his short time with us and we are so sad that he has passed away. We all miss you and love you very much. Rest In Peace."
– Billy Ambrose, Family, Willow Street, PA, Aug 21, 2020
"The world lost the kindest heart and sweetest soul in Richie. He genuinely cared about everyone he met, and their families! He'll truly be missed, but I'll always keep a bit of his kindness and compassion with me!"
– Kelly Porter O'Connor, Family Friend, Wilmington, DE, Aug 21, 2020
"Richie was such a shining star in this sometimes dull world. His huge personality was able to light up a room. He had a rare quality to make everyone he spoke to feel like they were the most important person to him. He always took the time to really talk with people and his genuine care and concern were so obvious. You always knew he was really listening when you talked. He wanted everyone to be as happy as he was...always with a smile...leaving others smiling too! He will be so missed!"
– Brenda Dougherty, Family, Harrisburg, PA, Aug 19, 2020
"Very hard to put into words how much Richie meant to me and my family. Over the last few years talking to Richie became part of my daily routine. We would usually chat for an hour about all different topics. He tried talking about sports but I'd usually change the subject to movies and celebrities! I loved to tell him that most of the Adam Sandler movies stunk but Richie loved them all. That was one of his special qualities, Richie enjoyed everything he did, he found something positive in everything and everyone. He was always telling me how proud he was of my children and was always giving them words of encouragement. Everyday I have something new to tell Richie and I am so sad he's not here for me to call. He is missed by my family."
– Rachel Conway, Family, GARNET VALLEY, PA, Aug 19, 2020
"I am so saddened by the loss of Richie. When the stress of life would weigh down on me I would remember my conversations with Richie and the joy he experienced from a simple phone call and talking about his family. No conversation went by without multiple "I love you's" from Richie. It served and will continue to serve as a reminder of the important things in life. He was the sweetest, most loving person I know. His loss will leave a huge hole in our family, but we are thankful for having had him in our lives."
– Jack Dougherty, Family, Harrisburg, PA, Aug 19, 2020
"Richie, I am very lucky to have known you for as long as I can remember and to have grown up with you as a part of my life. You were the kindest, sweetest person I have ever met. I will remember how much you loved every member of our family, and how much we love you. We miss you so much."
