My Uncle Rich was both a kind and loving man as well as a true man's man. As far back as I can remember I knew that he and his brother, Uncle Dominic, had served our country bravely as Marines in the Vietnam war... Uncle Rich had a stoicism about him I couldn't ever really articulate but always respected... I also remember when he thrilled my little brothers and cousins and I with the telling of 2 (not so) scary stories: "The Rarie Bird" and "The Purple Gorilla"... I wish I had gotten more time to get to know this wonderful man as an adult... Rest in peace Uncle Rich! Love, Benjamin

We got the privilege to know Rich and Kathleen when they moved to Florida to be closer to their family there. Upon meeting Rich, one could immediately see the joy in his countenance,. It’s easy to see where his lovely daughter gets her joy of life and love for all things Disney. I always enjoyed seeing the photos that Nicole would share of Rich and his beautiful granddaughter, Elena, at the Disney parks. So much happiness and joy. We are sending our deepest condolences to our dear friends Nicole, Jeff, Elena and Kathy his devoted wife. You are loved, very much.
