Richie was the heart and soul of his family as well as many others, he would do anything for anyone, even those he didn’t know. He had blue eyes that lit up a room and dance moves like no other. If you knew Richie you knew he was the biggest Grandmas boy ever and did no wrong.  He loved to hang out with his friends, work out at the gym, helping others whenever needed and fishing.  He enjoyed day trading stocks and was a die-hard Detroit Lions fan.
