One of the nicest guys I ever knew and a consummate performer. Always available to do a benefit or to come on as an opening act at the last minute. My best memory of him is when he came to one of my Dad's birthday parties and spent the afternoon teaching my niece Hanna how to play the guitar.

Never angry, Never sad, he was just frustrated about how we all can't just get along.

God love 'ya Richie, you are in his choir now...
