I knew Richie only because he was my brothers age and they kinda hung around together..and  also his brother Phil   because we were in the same class of 1958 ..He was a happy soul and we always enjoyed his humor and light-heartedness...sorry to hear of his death..much too young to leave his family and friends and loved ones..I believe we will be united  again in the very near furtue ..right here on a cleansed earth free from pain ..sickness and sorrow ..yes even the sting of death will  be no more..this is a promise made by Jesus when he said to the man next to him on the torture stake..'You will be with me in paradise'..and Richie will hear Jesus voice and come out of the memorial tomb..will we be there to welcome him..I hope and pray that all who loved him will be there..with opened arms..Luke 23:39-43 and John 5:25-30..A Friend From The Past..Chris Ligor
