I am so sorry to hear of rich’s passing we go back long time. RIP my friend
Our prayers for you and your family.
Deepest condolences to your family. Richie was such a good honest guy. Always there when we called. My mother always knew she could depend on him & had the pot of coffee on for him, she enjoyed his company as well as his expertise. Rest In Peace Richie, you’ve suffered & fought a long battle🙏
I’m so sorry for your loss. Rich repaired all my appliances for years and was so very lovely every time he came to my home. He was so kind and was always able to make sure he could do the repairs for the last amount or not bother because it would cost to much. He was going through his treatment at the same time I was at one point and was so supportive of me. He was just so kind. What a lovely person he was. He will be truly missed. They don’t make men like him anymore!! Our family will keep the Wades on our prayers. Much love to you.
Rick, I am so sorry and saddened to hear about your Dad. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Your Dad was a great person. I went to school with him. I also remember your Grandmother’s pie store on Coe Avenue. “Mrs. Wade’s Pies” , they were great! He also repaired all my appliances and was good at what he did! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Most Sincerely and with Deepest Sympathy,
Tony Moscato
I was a classmate of Richard at Mama and Elementary school and he was one of my best friends during those years. I remember many times having meals at his house and those wonderful pies from the bakery Rest in peace all companion
