THE WALL OF FACES

Richie,
We were friends at Westchester Community College back in 1965-66. will never forget how you handed me the keys to your brand new Mustang and said "Go take it for a ride". I was a nervous wreck as I made one pass around the parking lot. My heart sank when I heard the news of your passsing in Viet Nam. It was about 57 years ago that I last saw you. I will never forget your constant smile or the kindness you showed all of your classmates. RIP my friend!

Rich, on this Memorial day, other veterans as well as those who never served, honor and respect your sacrifice. Rest well.

Thank for your services and for your sacrifice for our country.

Carol and I visited your grave site yesterday on your 75th birthday along with Nicky C. and Teri. It didn 't take long for us to realize how special Teri was to you and you to her. It was a privilege to meet her. We spent over an hour reliving our time in Silver Lake. Rest eternally Ritchie and may God's eternal light shine on you always. Your will forever be in our hearts.
