His laughter, his smile and his jokes will be missed by many. He loved making people laugh and feel good about themselves. Richie was a True Blue Cubs fan and was ecstatic to see them win the World Series. He is loved by many, as much as he loved every one in his own way. He wore his heart on his sleeve and was a very emotional person. Richie would always prefer he is not saying 'Goodbye', he is saying 'See you on the other side.'
