Good times listening to stories for my kids at Uncle Richie and Aunt Stella house . They were allowed to sit on the couches during our visit. When me and my cousins Tommy and Richie would go to the house as kids Aunt Stella thought we were a wrecking crew and we had limited access to the furniture and to her dopey cat since we were dog guys. We would try to trap the cat. Uncle Richie would just go with the flow. He had to know what we were up to. God bless him!

Dear Jennifer and family,
We are so very sorry for your loss of your father who was so dear to your heart. We keep you and your family in mind and prayers as you deal with your heavy grief. We hope it brings you comfort knowing Jehovah is close to the broken-hearted and will soon “swallow up death forever and wipe the tears from all faces”- Isaiah 25:8. With Love, The Luttenberger Family

Dear Jen, Dear Stella,
I am so sorry for the loss of Richie. I learned about his jovial and kind soul in 2007 when I visited you in New York. I think you are very fortunate to have had him as a husband and father. May his example of life inspire others.
Love to you.
Ilaria

I was hoping that this day would not come. I knew that the odds were bad, but Richie had a knack of picking winners. I was hoping Richie would beat the odds and still be with us. I know that he would be planning trips with Stella to Belmont and Florida to visit with Jennifer.
I'll miss you Richie. You were a good friend. You had a love for life. You loved your family, neighbors and your fig tree that the squirrels loved to eat. Thanks for being part of my life and sharing all your wonderful stories. Rest in Peace, Richie.

Our thoughts and prayers are with my Aunt Stella and cousin Jennifer. We are very sorry for your loss. Prayers for you through this difficult time. Uncle Richie will be missed by all. I will always remember the time he was crazy enough to take me to Florida when I was little and not realizing that I needed 3 kid meals to feed my appetite when Jennifer only ate like a bird. We had a Cardinal show up at our kitchen window today which could be him saying goodbye. Love to all of you. Fred, Lisa,Maddy and Nico

I always appreciated being around you Richard. Talking life, sports and everything in between was always a good time. I promise I will take care of your beloved daughter, and be sure we will see you in the earthly paradise! Go Braves!
