Patty, and Family,

I am very sorry for your loss.

Please accept my sincere condolences,

and a little prayer...

May the Lord grant him everlasting life;

May He bring peace, and comfort, to those he left behind;

and may his soul, forever, rest in peace.

Amen.

My heart is so heavy, Richard was a sweet man, fabulous chef and the loving husband of one of my best friends. He was too young to be taken away, Jim and I are devastated, he will be missed. My love and strength go out to his wife Patty and children, and beautiful grandchildren. -Sandra Marcucci
