Richie, you were such a blessing to our family. You helped us guide Bill through the years after his father died. Bill, Amy, and I will be eternally grateful for your love and caring and your strong, wise influence on him. Our family will miss you so much and you will never, ever be forgotten, dear Richie.

It was an honor to work with you at the race track, and be a guest in your home. Not many people are aware of the honors you received for your service to your country during the Vietnam War.
May you rest in peace, having lived the
good life, and enriched the lives of so many others.

Rich,
May you rest in peace my friend. From your vantage point you should have the best seat at all the races. I will think of you each time I am at a race track thinking of you, your humor and friendship. Your friends in NM will miss you.

Richard...thanks for coming to see me after Westwood. You became a good friend both during and after that tenure. I am in the process of reading your Father's book-finally! May you now rest in peace. God bless you.
