Was so sorry to hear of your lose. As a kid growing up in Portageville, Richie was one of my best friends and I know you all will miss him dearly. Sorry Eky and I will be out of town and unable to attend his service.

One of my favorite memories is playing Hands and Feet (card game) with Uncle Richie and Aunt Rosie. We would play cards, eat and laugh, and play some more.…and always have a great time. I’ll miss you, Susie Inman ❤️🙏🏼
Papa was always glad to see you. Every time we walked into a room where he was, he would give us a huge smile and ask how we were. He made you feel special and that you were important to him. He took an instant liking to Sam when we first met him, always asking after him, “How’s my boy?”
Papa was truly young at heart. He loved to be active and involved with those he loved. I remember going to see a certain trendy movie with him and being surprised that he enjoyed it. He loved to talk about golf with Louis. He was always invested in his grandkids’ (and honorary grandkids) sports.
I felt like he adopted our family as honorary grandchildren, and we definitely thought of him as family. We have a “Papa-shaped hole” in our hearts now.
