"I was saddended to hear of Richies passing and extend my deepest and most sincere sympathy to Richies family. Some of the things I remember about Richie was his terrific smile and it was always there for his friends. I also remember his great sense of humor, warmth and generosity. When Richie and I were 7 or 8 years of age, my family lived across the street from the Caniglias and Richies dad was our family Doctor for years and thats where Richie and I became friends all the way through St. Mary’s High. I’m so glad to have seen Richie at St. Mary’s 70th birthday party. We talked of old times and he looked great and had that same terrific smile. I will truly miss him. Sincerely:Dominic Bertolino"
