Richard was the only love of my life; I was his first wife. No one could take his place. He lived large and I guess he was not ready for family life then. He kept in contact until I adopted a special child in 1989. I am so, so glad that he finally found his great love and a family he could totally embrace. I wish he and his wife could have grown old together. I am glad that he remained faithful to the things he loved and the way he wanted to live. I hope to see him in heaven. (I don't expect anyone to read this. It's been almost 9 years since Richard passed and I only found his obituary recently. I needed to say how much I loved him, have missed him, but always wanted him to be happy and blessed. Reading the other entries, it appears that he was.)

I am very sorry for your loss. I was very shocked when I happened acrossed this obituary. It turns out Richard would be my second cousin. His mother and my grandmother were sisters.
My condolences to the entire Disario family.

I had the priviledge of meeting Richard and Amy on a trip out to CO to visit my Grandpa. Richard was my Grandpa's best friend, and took care of him like a son. He gave from his heart and touched the lives of everyone he met in a very positive and lasting way. My condolences to his family and friends.
With Love,

As a frequent visitor to the Mercedes Benz Club's National Business Office, Richard's smiling face was always there to greet me. His cheerful, positive outlook was contagious! He will be missed- as a coworker, but also as a friend.
My heartfelt sympathies to his family and friends.

Richard was a part of the MBCA National Office "family." He had creative ideas for the Club Store and always went out of his way to help club members. His presence is already missed by the MBCA staff. Our warmest wishes go to his wife, Amy, and their family.

When I would telephone the National Business from 'out West,' Richard was usually the one to answer. His voice was always cheerful and confident. He imparted in his audio manner a quality that reflected so well on the Club, its purpose, and his responsibilities. Our Club's members will miss him dearly.
But Richard was so much more than a 'staffer' at the NBO, and so it is in that light that our thoughts remain with his family throughout these difficult times.
