As family and friends of Richie, we celebrate and remember his life.
Richie's energy was infectious, always providing love and laughs to whoever crossed his path. His devotion to his family was evermore present as the diagnosis and fight surfaced. Richie was always a leader, a fighter, holding hope until the very end to beat this terrible disease.
We vow to fight for the cure as Richie would have wanted. We have chose to designate donations to the V Foundation for Cancer Research because Richie embodied the same spirit as the V Foundation: To keep fighting, to never give up. He fought so hard, for himself, his family, his legacy.
We will never give up in the fight against cancer, just like he did. Thank you for standing beside us, for remembering Richie and for considering a gift to the V Foundation in his memory.
