Dear Novie family, I am truly sorry for the loss of your husband, father, and grandad. I will always remember him as welcoming, humorous, a great storyteller, and a fabulous dancer. One of my favorite memories on my Wedding Day was watching Susan and Ritchie dancing! Prayers to you all and lots of love.

My life long friend, it started with music and ended up with a million laughs and lots of love. I feel I was a participant in most of Richies life. I was in his parents home Lenny and Marion, knew Howard and Joy as young children, there when we met the center of his life Susan, the arrival of his amazing children. Bayonne, Jersey Shore, 30+ years of reunions with 7 magical Bayonne HS friends we became brothers. Richie thanks for the great laughs music and loving friendship. Memories of you will last in me for the rest of my time. Your friend forever, Dom
