Dear Merideth, Margo and Melissa. I was so sorry to hear about your dad. I just found out about it. We went back a lot of years.

Went to good old 17 school and lived on the same street. He was a kind and gentile man and we had a lot of fun together. He was my friend then and continued to be after we all got married. He would do anything for everyone and always had a smile. There are so many stories about him when we were growing up, but the one that stands out is what a wonder friend he was and he will be missed.

Love to all of you. Rose Molinari

I have so many fond memories of your Dad. I hold dear to my heart, how he always made me feel connected to the family, even though we lived so far away. Sending Love & Prayers to all of you.

Love, Cousin Cindy

Having Dick & MaryJo as part of our summer cottage family was so very important to us all. We will miss him and his fireside chats! God, please continue to bless his children with his love and their many loving memories.

Ron & Dale Troyer ❤️❤️

Oh how I will miss Rich at TBE! Riding by his place on my bike and yelling, ,"Hey, Ritchie!" With a boitrous "Heyyyy" back. You and Diane are already missed. May God keep your soul.

Lovely gathering today for my cousin Richard. Wow what an incredible loving legacy he left on this earth! Loved by SO many! Great sitting with cousins today swapping our memories of him. I’m sure Maryjo welcomed him with open arms. RIP dear cousin, for all eternity Cousin Louise

We were so fortunate to have a cottage right next to Dick & his Family. The wonderful memories we have of Dick - him and the boys fishing all the time - him with his great grandchildren telling them they could not swim without a life jacket until they could swim from his dock to ours. The kids would be so excited when they could finally do it and the smile on Dicks face was priceless. And we course he adored all the girls! He raised a beautiful Family and May you all find peace and comfort in all the great memories your Dad made for the rest of us. RIP Dick you will be so missed

Love to all of You,

The Emerson Family

Dickie has been a LONG time family of my family. I am told, he and Mary Jo were my first adult friends, beginning in the early sixties. I have so many fond memories… in my toddler years we’d go out for Sunday breakfast, As a youth rides in the corvette, awesome family gatherings in the islands, somehow Dickie and Phil managed to catch my fishing line and hook a fish on it and watch my excitement, meeting and getting to hold each of his precious Dolly girls, as a teen laughing at his comical escapades at a shrine event, circus or family gathering. The only adult friend I called by his first name! ‘Mr. Maira is my father’ he would tell me. The memories go on and on, listening to Dickie, Mary jo and my parents recall a road trip when they debated how many udder’s a cow had and stopped at a pasture to Clint them -definitely a favorite!! dancing w him at my wedding, watching him nurture my children and later annual hunting trips to a family cabin w my son. God speed Dickie you will live forever in my heart. My sincerest sympathies to the girls, Dian and entire family. Fondly Andrea Syracusa - Houle.

My dad, Marty Barr, was friends with Rich. During their time in Florida, my dad would visit Rich's house every morning for coffee or breakfast. Their bond was so strong that Rich felt like a brother to my dad. Although I only met him a few times, I always cherished the moments we spent together. Rich's company, smile, and wit brought me joy. His absence will be deeply felt. My sympathies to all of Rich's loved ones, Naomi Roberts

I met Richard 35 years ago when I worked for Empire Signs and when I started my company 20 years ago Skylight Signs, he did a lot of my neon repairs. He was a great sign man and so was his dad. I had the pleasure to talk with him last weekend when we were camping up in the thousand islands, Ricky Vega texted me his phone number we talked for about 45 minutes and I had planned to visit him when I come up in August to Henderson, it’s a sad loss he was a great man

My condolences to his large extended family

It was fun when cousin Richie drove from his place in Boynton Beach to pick up Gene and I at our hotel in Ft. Lauderdale. We then drove to Naples to spend the day with our cousin Joyce.

It was nice meeting Richie (and Diane) at the Concerts by the Shore in Rochester to listen to the bands on the beach on Wednesday nights.

Richie was always "Richie" to his first cousins on his mother's side. He was never "Richard" or "Dick" to us.

Rest in Peace cousin Richie.

My dear friend ❤️ you will be missed by all that have known you. I thank God for you. For putting you in my path and being a part of my life. Thank you for reaching out to me the other day. Because if you didn't I would have been a lot harder. God works a mysterious ways and he connected us before he took you because he knows how much you meant to me. I love you my friend and may God look over you and protect you for eternity. I could only imagine that big smile on your face when you saw your wife again. I'm sure she was waiting at the door for you ❤️. Take care my friend May God bless you always.

My sincere condolences to my dear cousin’s family. He has certainly left quite a legacy with each having a broken heart now. You’ve been dearly loved and now you will be dearly missed. Rest in peace Richie. Love, Cousin Judy

Richard was my little league coach when I was younger, after graduation of high school he hired me at the sign company. We had many laughs he was a good man.I was invited to his and MaryJo' home for many holiday dinners. He always made me feel part of the family, RIP my friend thank you for great memories.
