Unfortunate tragedy occurred on Wednesday, December 18, 2019, that unexpectedly took our loving father, husband, brother, friend, son, grandson, uncle, cousin and man away at a very young age of 38 from his loved ones with pancreatic cancer at Gunderson Health Systems in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Richies' huge passionate heart, comical old-soul and warmness will be undeniably missed by his immediate as well as extended family members, countless friends and love-filled friendships for his creative-flare with 50's & 60's music and sporadically quoting movie quotes. Richie is a most passive loving man; he showed his support, and love as a part-time musician, full-time daddy to 4 boys, unwavering lover, friend, and companion to a beautiful wife, as well as a brother, uncle, cousin, son, nephew, grandson, etc. Richie enjoyed playing music to brighten everyone around him, this is how he expressed his deep heart full of compassion. Richie was not a judgemental person, Richie was a hard-working man, easy to talk to as well as a great listener. Everyone who knew Richie was blessed to know him, be related to him and honored to be amongst his pureness. Richard “Richie” A.

A Letter from Janet (Richie's mom) My son... you were the first light of my life. Nurturing you and watching you grow into a caring, loving father was an honor I can never repay. Though I didn't tell you enough, all accomplishments and talents you possessed did not go unnoticed and I am so very proud of you! Music and movies was a subject we (as a family) had in common and you could always make us laugh as well as count on you to know the movie quote trivia answers. Your last days were very tough for all of us. Watching you slip away from us broke my heart and I couldn't stand to watch you in pain so am thankful God asked you to come to him quickly. You will forever be missed, my dear and only son! All my love ❤ Mom
