Richie you were always kind and always had a smile on your face. When I was about 20 were at our house with Tommy and you had your green Volkswagen bug, I think it was pretty new. I asked if I could borrow it to go pick up a friend. No problem, you let me take it, I am not sure if you even asked if I knew how to drive a stick. I did get it back to you in one piece. Thanks Richie for a fun memory
God Bless and Rest in Peace. Your Cousin Jeanie

Dad, I met you when I was 5 years old, you were an amazing Dad to me. You were kind, loving, compassionate, understanding, and always provided for us.
You taught me how to drive the Blue Honda Civic stick shift, always came to athletic events, drove me to work at 5 am on Sunday mornings to the Stationery store!
You were a great Dad, I will always hold you close to my heart, and miss you.
Soar with the Angels Dad, I love you.

Richard my oldest brother was an example to all his 7 siblings. We have been sharing memories about you. We think you took Joey Heatherton to your High School Prom. You were an exceptional athlete in every sport. You maintained your faith in God, may you be rewarded in all your beliefs in life ever lasting.

Dad,
You are the greatest man I’ve ever known. So strong, supportive and forever guiding your children. I will miss your corny dad jokes, your long winded stories and lectures and that smile that lit up whenever your family was around. I am lucky to be your little girl and I can only hope I can raise my son to be the type of man his Pop was. He’s got your Smith baby blues so we will always see you in his eyes.
I love you,
Katie

I will always remember how strong, very kind and wonderful this man was.....how he loved his family and I believe Richard is meeting with his Mom, Dad and family, friends who passed before him. Kate, his loving daughter did an amazing, loving job taking good care of her Dad.
.Richard, you will be missed
