When I think of Uncle Richard I remember music and laughter. He and my dad Al (who he called Maynard after a favorite musician) spent hours listening to jazz and calypso. When you walked into a room full of llaughter Uncle Richard was usually in the middle of it. You could also count on him to give you good advice when he thought you needed it. I haven't seen him much in the last ten years, but I'll always remember the way being with him made me smile.

My dearest brother in law.How I missed you. You were the most generous man of love,faith,patience and gentleness. I was honored to have taken care of you when you needed it. You were always so appreciative . I’m going to miss you and your famous cod cakes. Not to mention your Rum Swizzle! I will always remember the quiet and private conversations we had.Thank you Rich. I will always love you.

Uncle Richard, you were a great hard working man with whatever you did. You're loving ways was such a great sight. I know, you knew that you were loved in the same way, even more. I loved to visit you and hear Frank Sinatra, jazz music and Carribean music coming from your man cave, was the highlight of my visit. On your wedding day to Aunt Audrey, it was an honor to decorate the house and your wedding cake for your special day. It was a great time, among so many others. You will be missed dearly and forever loved! We will continue to keep serving up your Rum Swizzle, Rum Cake & Crab Cakes, and Ron will continue to make to your famous hot sauce. We love you Uncle Richard. Joanne, Ernie & Chris, we send our deepest condolences and much love to you all.

Joanne and Ernie, our deepest sympathies go out to you. May our prayers ease the pain of the loss of your father,.

My Body guard duty is over for now,until we meet again.Rest In Peace.

Uncle Richard, it was my profound honor to have you in my life. Your wisdom , love and guidance was a blessing to me when I needed it. I will always cherish the many times we just hung out and talked. Words can not express how much I will miss you. Love you Capicu always and forever.

RIP Uncle Richard I will always remember you and your Rum Swizzle God has another special angel Love always

GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN. LOVE AND MISS YOU ALWAYS UNCLE RICHARD

To my Uncle Richard. I t is still hard to believe that your are no longer with us. I have so many loving and found memories to cherish. I know you are just fine now up there in heaven with the love of your life( aunt Audrey) and many many family members. Please give our love to everyone up there., just know that you will always be loved and missed. LOVE YOU UNCLE RICH(THE FISHERMAN).

Chris and I will always cherish the memories we have after Richard and Audrey moved in next door to us here in Virginia. Richard knew it was the place to be when he saw my husbands pepper garden next door. The minute we met them in was instant friendship that grew into more of a family type love. They welcomed us into their home for family dinners and parties as we did them. Wonderful kinship, food and of course Richard's Rum Swizzle. Richard was our "neighborhood watch" as we liked to call him. Always watching out for all of us. He loved watching our dogs romp in the yard, specially "Mr. Brown". Watching him work was amazing...and his yard was immaculate! We were heart broken when Audrey passed and now our hearts ache again losing Richard. That house next door will never be the same without you both there. We still look for you in the yard Richard, and probably always will. Much love to all of the family, we are sorry we can not be there with you all

Thank You For Everything Uncle Richard. Please continue to bless and watch over our family.

My Uncle Richard was a Wonderful Man, who I admired and loved dearly. He provided a positive example of a strong, hard-working, caring, giving man with pride and the ability to get things done. Over the years, he helped my husband Josue, myself and our children Savana and Mateo in so many ways. As a Master Craftsman, he provided expert guidance in what to look for in selecting a house to buy and raise our family in. He never hesitated in taking Josue under his wing sharing his knowledge and wisdom. My children and I were so fortunate to grow-up and experience the “Quintessential Uncle Richard” which included, but not limited to the richness of his Bermuda accent, sips of his legendary ‘Rum Swizzle’, the sound of Frank Sinatra playing in his man cave, and eating his signature crab cakes. Savana & Mateo always had fun running around in Uncle Richard’s handsomely self-manicured yard with the greenest grass a child could only dream of playing in. My children fondly called him “Capicu.” We... Karyn, Josue, Savana, and Mateo have received the Endearing and Unconditional Love of Uncle Richard. I hope he felt in simple ways, in the smiles and laughter over the years he received the same from us. Heaven has a Man of Greatness...

WE MISS YOU "CAPICU" LOVE YOU ALWAYS, SAVANA & MATEO

Joanne and Ernie, Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss. May you be comforted by the outpouring of love surrounding you by your friends and family.

I love you Papa! No more suffering now your in a better place. I’ll miss your wit and calm demeanor. We will miss u! Your loving grand daughter Aristia and your great granddaughters Ry-Aidin and R-Zanee’

Joanne and Ernie, I am so sorry for the loss of your father. May he have joy in Heaven with the Builder of all Builders.

I'm sorry I couldn't visit you as much as I wanted to Fisherman. I miss and love you. Will visit you, Aunt Audrey and Mom as soon ad I can.

When Joanne and I were married, Rich walked Joanne down the aisle. It was a beautiful and touching scene. When we finally met at the front of the church, Rich placed her hand in mine, and said with a chuckle: "She's all yours Ernie my boy." In a moment when I was nervous, he broke the ice and made me laugh. I'll always remember that. Rich loved his music and would sometimes remember details of long lost songs that he heard on the radio many years ago. Sometimes he would ask me to find a song for him that he didn't have and I would make it my mission to locate the song and send it to him. He would then sit in his man-cave and play the songs that he loved to hear. Pa, we're going to miss you. May you have peace and joy in Heaven with our Savior and with all those whom you missed.
