This is the date we all dread coming. This is the day we lost a wonderful human being... This is the day we remember you -- the one and only Little Rich. This is the day to say we love you and miss you always. This is the day we ask that you watch over your loved ones and give them the strength they so desperately need. This is the day to say that we will never forget you -- never. Love,

Marks the 5 Year Anniversary of Richard's Disappearance

Five years on. Still no answers. But the circle of life goes on. There's a grandson now who will never hear the sound of your laughter or the warmth of your embrace. Much like your birth created our family, his birth has brought us all closer together. He is surrounded by love, especially the love of his parents. They are completely dedicated to his care and you would be so proud of the remarkable mother that Angela is. Young Timmy has brought a joy that has been missing for some time. We all look forward to his visits and the girls smother him with hugs and kisses. You did good. You did very good my son, and we will continue what you began.

We cannot believe it's been five years since we last saw you. We think about you all the time. Your kind heart, sense of humor, and thoughtfulness will always be remembered. We know that you are watching over us and our son, Max, and we hope that wherever you are, you are happy. We love you, Rich.

I just wanted to say that my heart goes out to your family. I have followed this story for many years now which is very hard to do in Texas. I pray that you will find closure this year and justice will be served swiftly.

The last time I spoke to Richard was 2 weeks before his disapearence. He called just to let me know a certain band was coming to town. There was excitement in his voice as there always was, as he spoke about the show. Richard always reached out and never forgot his friends. When he greated you it was with a REAL hug and a kiss on the cheek, like a real man and friend would do. I miss his hugs, I miss his phone calls, I miss his laughter. Love ya Brother, Chris.
Chris Fortuna, February 19, 2010

Dearest Richard, I am thinking of you today and will continue to do so always. No one can take your charm and smile away from us. It is emblazoned on our hearts. We love you and miss you. I think it is wonderful that you are a grandfather! Watch over your him and watch over your entire family. Love, Rosemarie
