Dad,
5 years ago today was my liver resection surgery and gallbladder removal. What a horrible time. But I am forever grateful that you and Mom were there for me, taking care of me and giving me comfort and safety.
Please continue to be my strength and my love. Love you always Daddy ❤️

Daddy,
Today is our 5th Wedding Anniversary. I waited for this moment for you to walk me down the aisle for years. I remember telling you I was so nervous, and you, in your calm and graceful manner, told me you have my hand and you wouldn't let go.
This was the best day ever because you walked me down the aisle, calm and confident, and squeezing my hand as we walked together. That brought me such joy.
I'd give everything I own for just one more walk together, while you're squeezing my hand. I know you're up in Heaven, celebrating this milestone with our loved ones. Keep the music going, keep the party going. I love you so much Daddy ❤️

2 and half years.
2 and a half years. Without you. Some days are so much harder than others.
As I am typing this, I automatically feel the lump in my throat and the tears swelling. Dad, I just miss you so much. I miss laughing with you and talking about each other's day. I miss jamming to Tom Petty, the Stones, and all the rest. I miss those words of wisdom (accompanied with one of your infamous Dad-jokes). I think about what could have been. Most of all, I just miss you. My dad.
Today, and all days, I will continue to live my life in your honor, and to do the right thing- always. Please continue to send strength and love. Love you always Daddy, until we meet again ❤️
Never Give Up; Never Surrender!
Love,
Your Peanut ❤️

When you will have to rise
Above the best and prove yourself
Your spirit never dies
Farewell, I've gone to take my throne above
But don't weep for me
'Cause this will be the labor of my love.
Daddy, your spirit will never die. You will always live on my heart and I know you are watching in heaven and I hope we all make you proud. I love you Daddy ❤️

Morning Richie, my prayers are for you . Rest assured that we are all going forward with heavy hearts, but we all know how much you want us to be ok. I hope you can see how your three daughters are doing. I know how much your life was all about your family, especially your daughters. You are the best DAD ever.
Today one of your best friends passed. David Turkey, I know the two of you are together talking your heads off. And it’s the awful day 9/11 that took Eddie Abad . We will never forget. So rest peacefully my sweet husband and friend. I love you forever.

My dear Pito, I miss you. I have you in my prayers. I’m so lonely without you. All the memories are with me . When a song comes on. A tv show we watched together. When I need to make a decision, carry heavy bags, open a pickle jar. Changing a light bulb. All these things bring you to mind. It makes me cry every time. What I would give to bring back that day. I love you forever. I hope you hear me when I’m in the car and I talk with you. I’m grateful to you forever.

2 years..
Hey you ❤️ Never in a million years would I have thought I would have made it to this point. 2 years ago, you were called back home to Heaven. Our time together on Earth was cut short. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you terribly. I miss your smile, you laugh, your Dad jokes, your words of wisdom. I just miss - you. I would give everything I own for just one more minute with you. There will always be a hole in my heart and a piece of my soul missing.
Although we only had about 38 years together, those years I will forever cherish. I cherish everything you have taught and given me in my life. You taught me how to be a kind, selfless, and compassionate person and guided me to where I am now in my career. You also taught me that Q 104.3 and the History Channel are nothing to compete with.
Dad, I hope you are proud of me. I know that I am proud and honored to call you my Dad. I will live each and every day in your honor and carry on your legacy.
I love you so much, Dad. Never Give Up; Never Surrender!
Until we meet again, my beautiful Dad ❤️
Love Always,
Your Peanut ❤️

I replay our beautiful life together with our beautiful children, playing “vente” and watching them run into your arms. All the books you read to them every nite and the voices you put to the stories or the stuffed animals. All the beautiful vacations you took us to. The life we had was so full of love kindness respect. So many memories that fill my days and nites. It’s what keeps me going . I hope you can hear me when I talk with you. I love you and I will never forget you.

I still can’t believe you too are not here with us. I’m still numb over this. At times when I sit and look around this new home, I try to think back at how I have gotten here and how I was able to get here. I’m in shock still and I try to replay in my mind even just the day before. I continue to say that my life is a blur. I truly am so heartbroken and miss your presence every minute.

I am comforted by the love you have for us and the signs you give us. I know you're always in our hearts and souls. We will continue to honor your legacy and memory and "Do the right thing".
We will never give up and we will never surrender. Until we meet again my beautiful Dad.
Love always,
Your Peanut ❤️

I just finished my first week at my new job. I keep thinking back of all of the times you sat down and helped me without even thinking. This week, I was working 1 on 1 with a student, and at the end of the day he said to me, "Thank you Ms. K. for helping me today." It made me smile and think of you. I hope you are proud of me.
Love you always Daddy ❤️

My dear Pito, how you were missed yesterday, one of your best holidays. I know you were with us. We missed so many things that you would do for us. We are so grateful for you. You are the best and I hope you are at peace and glowing with pride at us. I could not do a turkey feast as it is too soon for me to do the things we used to. Like you looking for the biggest turkey for us. Eating the stuffing from the pot and me catching you, to see the wide grin on your face. Oh my how I miss you. I’m sending you hugs and kisses I hope you get them . Love you

Hi Daddy! I know it’s been a while since I’ve written in here but I talk to you every day. I’m so sorry, coming on this page is so hard for me…and you know I’m more of a talker than a typer….
I know you are watching all of us and I hope we are making you proud. There’s so much I want to tell you but I know you know it all already.
I miss you so much. A smell, a memory, a movie, so much reminds me of you. I’m pretty sure you moved those grapes the other day to let us know you are there.
We’re going to moms today and I know you’ll be right there with us. I love you so much. Never give up, never surrender!!
Love you!

Dad, today is the second Thanksgiving without you. I remember all the preparations you used to make and the speech you would give for every Thanksgiving, asking all of us what we are thankful for. This year - and always, I am thankful that you are my Dad. Although you are not here physically, you remain in my heart. Always.
I am forever thankful and grateful for the nearly 38 years we had together. I am thankful for all of the beautiful memories we had together. I am thankful for all of the jokes and laughter we had together. I am thankful for all those words of wisdom and nuggets of information you gave me. I am thankful for you guiding and nurturing me to the career that I have now.
Dad, I am just thankful for you. Love you always. Til we meet again, my beautiful Dad ❤️

A year and half..
A year and a half. Without you. Some days are so much harder than others.
As I am typing this, I automatically feel the lump in my throat and the tears swelling. Dad, I just miss you so much. I miss laughing with you and talking about each other's day. I miss jamming to Tom Petty, the Stones, and all the rest. I miss those words of wisdom (accompanied with one of your infamous Dad-jokes). I think about what could have been. Most of all, I just miss you. My dad.
Today, and all days, I will continue to live my life in your honor, and to do the right thing- always. Please continue to send strength and love. Love you always Daddy, until we meet again ❤️
Never Give Up; Never Surrender!

Your Peanut ❤️

My dear Pito, how I miss you. I’m always thinking of you and replaying our beautiful memories. You are always in my thoughts, just going to the store and seeing your favorite things. Gosh it hurts so badly. My mind keeps going back to that April 22 that Friday nite. I can still see you having a great time at dinner , then it all started with us in hotel room and you were not feeling well. The guilt I feel as I should have just insisted on calling an ambulance for you, you resisted going to the hospital. My dear what I would give to rewind that day. You were so full of life and did not show weakness at all. You covered up for us my dear . I miss you and adore you forever. Rest in peace and know I will never forget you.

Thinking of us and the wonderful life you provided for us. How I miss you. I shut my eyes and search for your face. Things just pop into my head of something so simple as a trip to ShopRite, or anything, and I csn actually see us there and I can remember an incident so clearly. I can remember things we spoke about. It’s so weird but I think it’s you trying to keep us together. I remember us dancing salsa and I purposely kept it so simple so as to not make you look bad. I never want to lose these memories. I will never forget you and will always be grateful to you for rescuing me from a lost past. I will always love you and I hope you hear me talking to you. Rest in peace Pito

My dear Pito, today is Michael’s anniversary. Just looking at the calendar reminded me not just that it is their anniversary, but that you would be on the phone giving Michael a hard time. I could see and hesr you in the den, your fav room in the house. I texted him and had a long convo with him. These kinds of occasions bring you back deeper in my thoughts of you. Tomorrow is Eddie’s birthday. So all this saddens me as I know how you treasured remembering your friends and family . Once again a testament to the kind of person you were to us. My life has changed it’s upside down. It’s so lonely without you. I miss “US “, we were awesome together. We complimented each other . You took such care of me. I love you everyday. Rest in peace

I miss you every minute. How sad that we could not grow old together. We had such happy plans, but I have all the beautiful memories of us that I will continue to have and those memories will continue to keep you in my life until we are together again.

So much has happened since you went to heaven. So much sadness and grief. Your three daughters have banded together to keep your memories alive. We have been to memorials with nj sharing network, your name was imprinted on a wall there together with other organ donors. You were honored hon , what a beautiful gesture, we placed rocks that we decorated for you. It was a beautiful day there walking around a garden there. I hope it made you smile and happy that you thought of others .
We miss you always . RIP.

My dear Pito, it’s so painful. I miss you so much honeybun. I miss everything about us. I was finally able to look at krissy s wedding pictures. How sad even though it was a beautiful day. It was so difficult to see you , a strong handsome secure man sitting in that chair looking so sick. I will live with the guilt that I was not with you the whole time . The guilt is killing me. I’ve always been so protective of you, even though it made you uncomfortable but I love you and I am the same with our girls. The memorial was so beautiful and I’m sure you were clapping and smiling to see your name posted on the wall as a donor. You continue to give . Pito we will return to spend time there st the garden where we placed rocks . I will bring something for the garden as I know how much you enjoyed our gardens on bishop street. Oh Pito I shut my eyes to see you . My goodness I can’t believe I did what I did in moving to a new home , furnished it and am trying to make a future for myself. I have you with me though I hope you approve even though you always rejected the idea of getting a 55 and over place. You would of loved it hon, it would of pleased you. So , watch over me and the girls especially Melanie she’s having a hard time. I love and miss you . Rest in peace

My dear Richie, how I miss you. It doesn’t seem to get easier for me. I get a lump in my throat when I go on the Matthew website and your picture comes up, I cry immediately. When I see your handsome face I wish I could hold your face . I have been trying to live my life with purpose to no avail. Nothing makes me happy. I will try to turn this around as I know you will be disappointed in me if I don’t. I miss you every second of my life. You were the happiness in my life. I just wish you were still physically here. I pray for you and that you rest peacefully. I know for sure you were not ready to leave us, especially your beautiful daughters who adored you. You had so much life to live. I’m now in a home that I know you would have loved. It’s so lonely without you Pito. So hard . I close my eyes and I go back to many memories of our beautiful life together. I close my eyes and picture you walking around bishop street . I picture you in the pool floating in your favorite chair. I picture you sweeping up itchy balls and maintaining our beautiful gardens. I picture you all the time as I close my eyes as I’m afraid I’ll forget your face . It hurts Pito, I talk to you and will never forget you. I wish I could hear you call me “Schmooie “ or honey bunny , or just sit next to me holding my hand . I close my eyes to just picture you. I love you

Morning my dear Rich, of course I’m missing you and your love. I read this book on angels and I truly believe you are an angel. When I think back to our life together and all the times you rescued me , I know God put you in my life to be there for me. You always reached out to your friends and you did for others. At the supermarket helping shorter ladies get products that were too high for them, then you would make a joke of it and made everyone laugh about it. You were a doer! Your friendliness towards strangers was awesome and you were real. I miss all that hon. I truly believe you were an angel here and now in Heaven. Gosh , I get so emotional when I look through our pictures . I wish I could just touch your face and give you a hug . I love you and miss you everyday. Rest Pito

Daddy,
As we are waiting to go home, I am comforted by all of the beautiful memories we had of you when we would go on vacation. I remember all of the fun times, the funny times, and your beautiful spirit and presence. I remember the walk you would take to get us extra bacon in the morning and that excited walk to whatever excursions we would go to. I also remember that we would always wait for you to get out of the ocean because you loved it so much.
With that being said, I hope you are swimming along, having the time of your life. I miss you terribly. I am comforted knowing that you are everywhere.
I love you always Daddy ❤️ until we meet again

My sweet Pito, I took care of your wish to take your last trip with your loving daughters and hubbies. It was certainly not the same without your bubbly self. You would always have conversations with the dinner staff. You were always so kind and always made them feel so important. You made friends with so many , I always was amazed how you were so good at talking. We missed you so much . We were able to spread your ashes together with Wolfie at sea. It was so emotional. Princess made a special time for us and it was so beautiful. I keep thinking I’m going to see you walk through the buffet area with your plate full of bacon. The time was extremely difficult for me. I was so lost especially in the cabin. I didn’t know what to do with myself. I would walk around finding a corner away from people so they wouldn’t see my tears. I’m so lonely without you Pito. I missed how you had everything planned . From restaurants, trivia’s, excursions, or anything going on during the day. It was not the same but I honored your request to do one last trip for the people who are so important to you. I know they appreciated it even with all the hiccups . Thank you again for your love and your kindness still, even with you not physically here. Thank you my love . You are amazing

Pito, my dear sweet richie. How strange this feels to me. You were the heart of our lives. You brought the love, laughter, the light of our lives. I still try to keep that in my life with all the beautiful memories you left us with. My memories of you and the happiness you brought is what I am holding on to. In a few days I’ll be somewhere that you adored. I’m sure you will be with me . Pito, every 23rd for me is so debilitating. I go back to that bittersweet day and my heart tears apart. I can see you clearly in my minds eye. Clearly. I can see your beautiful hair , every wrinkle around your eyes. U can see your hands. I can see you sitting in that chair at the hotel , you holding your forehead as you knew you were not right but fought to get through the walk down the aisle for Krissy. My God , what was going through your head ? I can see your face and how you must of hated having to sit in that wheelchair csuse you were too weak to walk. Oh my dear how I wish I were with you . You were the strongest bravest man ever. I love you .

Daddy, this is your second Father's Day in Heaven. A second Father's Day without your loving embrace, jokes, laugh, wisdom, but most of all - you ❤️
As I am thinking of the words to say, I feel the lump in my throat and the tears falling down. There isn't a moment that goes by and I think of you. I know that you are in Heaven, watching over all of us and being our guardian angel. I hope you are proud of us. I will continue to live my life, honoring your memories and legacy.
Til we meet again my beautiful Dad. Never Give Up; Never Surrender! ❤️
Love Always,

Morning Pito, you popped up on my phone out of nowhere, it was your way of reaching out to me I hope. Omg I miss you so much . So much has happened since you left. What I would give to turn back the clock to that day . I wish I had hugged you more while you were in the chair. I was so scared and went into shock. I went into denial mode immediately. I want you to know I say my prayers for you and your parents , Becky and all our family and friends. I hope you are all together now. I miss your face and your silliness. I miss you. I call your name all the time , I talk and cry when I’m in the car, especially when I pass spots that we were together. I’m hurting so much and I try to not show it as I don’t want to annoy people with my grief. I wish I could see you and hug you. I replay that day anc the pain is worse now. How I miss you Pito . Love you forever

One year..
Never in a million years would I have thought I would have made it to this point. 365 days ago, you were called back home to Heaven. Our time together on Earth was cut short. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you terribly. I miss your smile, you laugh, your Dad jokes, your words of wisdom. I just miss - you. I would give everything I own for just one more minute with you. There will always be a hole in my heart and a piece of my soul missing.
Although we only had 38 years together, those years I will forever cherish. I cherish everything you have taught and given me in my life. You taught me how to be a kind, selfless, and compassionate person and guided me to where I am now in my career. You also taught me that Q 104.3 and the History Channel are nothing to compete with.
Dad, I hope you are proud of me. I know that I am proud and honored to call you my Dad. I will live each and every day in your honor and carry on your legacy.
I love you so much, Dad. Never Give Up; Never Surrender!
Until we meet again, my beautiful Dad ❤️
Love Always,
Your Peanut ❤️

My dear pito, how I miss you. My life is different now and it’s strange to me. It’s a blur and the sadness at times is so overwhelming. I can’t seem to go forward but I know you are going to be upset if I don’t. I miss our beautiful life together especially summers. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. Watch over over all of us . We love you honeybun

Charlie and I were at Mom's yesterday. As we were unpacking, all of the things I saw just reminded me of you - especially the "Magic Cup". I remember all of the times you would get me coffee in that cup during our stay in Miami while I was recovering. It was probably the crummiest cup of coffee, but you made it the best cup because it was from you. I'd give anything for you to make me one more cup.
Miss you and love you always Daddy ❤️

11 months without you. Next month, it will be a year. Lately, the memories are overflowing. Although the sadness is overwhelming, the love you had - and have- brings comfort.
Keep sending all of us those signs- the cardinals, the butterflies, and the random Tom Petty songs on Spotify. I know you're looking down on all of us with that smile and your beautiful spirit. I love you so much, Daddy.❤️
Til we meet again ❤️
Love Always,

I’m not looking forward to it, but I need to begin my future with you of course in new surroundings. You will always be with me. Thank you for all the precious memories that I will bring with me. I miss you to no end. I can just see you enjoying the pool every summer and how you were darker than me at all times. Your great burgers and hotdogs and the love you put into cooking for us. You never complained or had any bad vibes. You truly enjoyed doing for us. You taught us so much. Your generosity was genuine. I hope you knew how much we love and appreciate all you did for us. We are where we are because of you. I am missing you for sure. Till we meet again

10 months..
10 months ago without your hugs and squeezes, your laughter, your kindness, your words of wisdom. 10 months without you.
These 10 months have been so hard. I am forever heartbroken. Sometimes I forget and I want to text you or call you and I have to remember that I can't and that just breaks me to the core. I'd give everything just for one more minute with you.
Dad, your love and memories warm my heart and soul. I cherish every single one of them. We will never give up and we will never surrender.
Thank you for being my dad.
Until we meet again my beautiful Dad.

As 2022 ends, I realize that I will not be getting that 12 AM text from Dad saying "Happy New Year!" He was always the first one I would text - and not because he was a night owl lol!
Dad, I hope you're ringing in the New Year with your favorite people in Heaven. Today, I'm definitely relying on your favorite phrase - Never Give Up; Never Surrender!
Love Always,

8 months ..
8 months without my Dad. 8 months without my kind, funny, selfless Dad.
I bought this little decoration for you. You will always have a seat with us - always. ❤️
As I was wrapping gifts last night, I realized it is the first Christmas without you. I remember all of the wonderful memories we had together during the holiday season. I remember you making the holidays so fun and just being so happy and joyful, and most of all, selfless. I will forever cherish those memories.
As all of the memories - and reality- rushed back, that's when I lost it. I just sobbed into my hands. As I was sobbing, my Spotify (always on shuffle) kept on playing. The song that played was our song Dad, Wildflowers by Tom Petty. And then 2 songs later, Learning To Fly came on and then You'll Be In My Heart came on directly after. Dad, I knew that was you telling me that you were here with me.
Dad, please continue to be with us. Continue to send us your strength and love, especially over the next few days. I love you always Daddy ❤️
Your Peanut ❤️

I am forever thankful and grateful for the nearly 38 years we had together. I am thankful for all of the beautiful memories we had together. I am thankful for all of the jokes and laughter we had together. I am thankful for all those words of wisdom and nuggets of information you gave me.

Daddy,
3 years ago today was my liver resection and my gallbladder removal surgery. I remember that day clearly and how scared I was. I remember you, Mom and Charlie rushing to meet me before I went under. Marie Jean was truly an angel on Earth to help you. I was so scared. I remember seeing you afterwards in recovery and my heart was just so full and so happy. I knew then I was ok.
Dad, I am wearing my Never Give Up; Never Surrender t-shirt today. I will never give up and I will never surrender! I will continue to life my life in your honor. Love you always Daddy ❤️

Hey you ❤️
I was showing the class today pics of Belle. One of the students asked me for a picture of you. I showed your picture and then he asked "Where is your daddy?" I paused and I said, "Well, my daddy is in Heaven."
He stopped and looked at me for a minute. He then said, "Heaven? Well I hope it's nice there!"
Dad, my heart melted. I hope you saw it. Love you Daddy ❤️

Dad,
I was thinking about my wedding day and how happy and excited you were. I remember squeezing your hand when I was walking down the aisle with you. I remember the tears you wiped away from my face. I remember our dance. I was so nervous, and in true fashion, you said to do a spin. After that, all of my nerves were eased because I had you in that moment. I had my dad. Thank you for always being there. Love you always Daddy ❤️

6 months.
6 months. 182 days. Without you. Some days are so much harder than others.
As I am typing this, I automatically feel the lump in my throat and the tears swelling. Dad, I just miss you so much. I miss laughing with you and talking about each other's day. I miss jamming to Tom Petty, which I have been hearing more and more lately. I miss those words of wisdom (accompanied with one of your infamous Dad-jokes). I think about what could have been. Most of all, I just miss you. My dad.
Today, we will mark this milestone by doing the things you like. Please continue to send strength and love. Love you always Daddy, until we meet again ❤️
Never Give Up; Never Surrender!
Love,
Your Peanut

What I remember most about you is your kind and gentle demeanor. You were always so kind and selfless to us. I will continue to live my life in your honor. I will carry out all of the words of wisdom you taught me .
"Do the right thing". And I will.

Thinking of you my dear husband. I miss you so much , it still hurts so badly like it was April 23 . I still have that lump in my throat when I have your face in my mind. I want to reach out and touch your face like you were right there. I picture you walking to the store to play “ your scratches” as I used to sit in the car , I would watch you walk away with the famous waddle walk I used to call it. I would recognize you a mile away. From your beautiful head of hair to the way you walked. I feel at times like you will walk into the room . I look at photos of you and cry my eyes out. I love your face. All I can do is reminisce and hold all our great memories in my heart. I pray for you and all our loved ones that you are at peace. I hope you don’t get upset at us as we cry and we know how you hated to see any of us cry. Love you forever in my heart

Hey honey bun, I’m always thinking of you. I look for you in the supermarket, hoping I’ll see you in the aisles. I think I spot you at times as I drive. My thoughts go back to all our times together. Going to lee’s for candy, dirty hot dogs , or going to get pickles . We had such a beautiful life babe. I truly was so happy. What a beautiful life you created for us and our three daughters. It was full of laughter everyday. My fav was asking you if your tongue hurt you from all the talking, the jokes and just being your silly self . You filled our home with “noise” , beautiful noise , laughter and wonderful talk. You did have a serious side too, you were so knowledgeable and very witty. I don’t know if people knew how terribly smart you were. You found a way to fix any problem. The girls and myself counted on you all the time even if it was to replace a light bulb. You are missed Pito, we adore you and we will try to be strong for you. It’s what you want us to do. Love you my love and Rest In Peace .

My sweet dear rich , I miss your presence every minute. You always filled our home with “noise” , sweet loving noise. Your jokes, your songs, your little dances, all the beautiful noise that I miss so dearly. I love you forever and I am always so grateful for all you did for me and our three daughters. You are an angel and I hope you are together with your parents, Wolfie ( your doggie now) Johnny wito susie bennydavid ray and of course now Monsignor Jeff who passed . I hope he went to you and hugged you for us. May you all Rest In Peace. Love you forever

Dad, it has been 3 months since you were called up to Heaven. I think about you each and every day. I miss you so much. I am still in disbelief that you are no longer here with me physically.
I miss the random phone calls from you, telling me that Scaramouche is playing on TCM. I miss you putting plastic flies on my plate when I'm not looking. I just miss you.
However, I do know that although you are always surrounding me, blanketing me with love, strength and courage. I will continue to honor your memory each and every day. Dad, I hope I am making you proud.
I love you and miss you so much my beautiful Dad ❤️

My condolences to Richie's family and friends. I met Richie through work almost 30 years ago and liked him immediately. He was always so friendly and thoughtful. He often brought other agents into his investigations to help them increase their caseloads. Such a smart, diligent and humble guy. I left NY more than 20 years ago and was so happy to stay in touch with Richie. He was always enthusiastic about asking me how I was, how my family was and what was new in my life. He always had some news to share and spoke so lovingly about his family and friends. Cruises, Sanibel, The Twilight Zone, boxing, the old gang. Great stuff. I love you like a brother Richie and will miss you greatly. May you rest peacefully.

Pa, I will miss you tremendously. I remember how we would take the express bus together into Manhattan, me going to school and you work and I was always late in the morning, and we would be running down the road and you would run ahead and hold the bus for me so it wouldn't leave me. The love you gave to all of us will always be in our hearts. I will always treasure all the wonderful memories love babydimples

My deepest condolences to Nancy, Melanie, Kristen , Mildred and the rest of the Krause family for your loss. I still can’t believe that Richie is gone. He was always so full of life and energy. I will miss his laugh and jokes. Richie has been “family” even before he officially became family by marriage. I have so many fond memories of Richie: from the many barbecues and get-togethers at my parent’s house (70s and 80s) to last year (in the middle of the pandemic) when Richie and Nancy went out of their way to drive all the way down to Durham to celebrate my mom’s 75th birthday. I remember Richie letting Mildred and I brush his beautiful hair and put it in several ponytails when we were kids. I got such a kick out of that. And the last memory I have of Richie is posing for a photo with his two index fingers side-by-side to show how they curved. He always made me laugh and didn’t mind making fun of himself. He will truly be missed. Rest in Peace Richie.

Richie and Nancy have been wonderful neighbors--ready to take the extra step when you needed help. Richie always had a smile--no matter how down you might have felt, seeing Richie would put you back on top. He loved old Hollywood films and 50-70s TV shows--which often became part of our Bishop Street conversations;. Richie could talk about almost anything--and was always interesting. I enjoyed those conversations. When he picked me up (on several different occasions) at Colonial Service Station after I left my car there for service, he would banter with David, Tommy and Paul. I'd call him 'the Commissioner' and he would call me ';The professor.' (which were our professions). However, anyone in the shop at the time who didn't know us would probably think we were members of the syndicate.
Richie was a true mensch and a good man and I will greatly miss him.
My condolences to Nancy, his daughters and their husbands, and his grandchildren.

My Grandpa Richie❤️
I am just speechless writing this. I will always only remember great memories of you. To our long walks to the bank just in hopes for there to be a lollipop there for me. To you making silly signs that I am not allowed in the pool even though you spent the time prepping and cleaning it just for me. To the flip phone that was always attached to your hip. To just showing me what an amazing and great person with a heart of gold is who loves my grandmother so dearly. I will never again meet someone who is always so happy and silly and only wanted to make sure everyone else was laughing. You will be missed so much by the family it is unexplainable. I love you so so much. Forever in our hearts.
-Love, The Kid❤️

Richie, you’re the best of the best, and we’re all made better for having known you. Your girls are a shining light and testament to the kind of person you were — loving, funny, and beautiful inside and out. Thank you for the gift you’ve given me in two of my very best friends, thank you for never complaining about having to pick us up in the middle of the night at the ferry, thank you for always making everyone feel welcomed into your family. RIP, Papa Krause.

He was a great man and friend. I met him through a mutual friend, David Turney in 1990. Treated me as a family member. A truly great loss to everyone. GOD Bless you and rest in peace.

To my beautiful father:
Daddy. I love you so much. I miss you terribly. There is a hole in my heart that can never be healed or patched.
You were an amazing man. You were intelligent, energetic, kind hearted, generous, and had a good looking set of locks! You are my hero, my inspiration. I strive and will continue to strive to be the best person for you. You taught me everything I know and I am honored to have accomplish so much in my life with your love, wisdom, and support. I know you were so proud when I graduated my academy, presenting me with my
Federal Law Enforcement Credentials, something so few people ever get to do. We would shoot the breeze about work matters and was always there to offer your professional advice.
I take solace I knowing you mustered all the strength you had left in you, determined to walk me down the aisle no matter what; your last act of your selfless nature. I will never forget how you cheered me on, even though you were not well. Your last act as a father was full of love, courage, and determination.
You are the epitome of what a man, a husband, and a father is. You loved Mommy unconditionally and endlessly. You loved your daughters with that same regard.
You light up a room with your smile, your dad jokes, and hilarious stories. I will love you always, keep you always in my heart and soul, forever preserving your memory, love and legacy.
“Grieve not…
nor speak of me with tears…
but laugh and talk of me…
as though I were here beside you.
I loved you so…
‘Twas Heaven
here with you.”
Daddy, I will keep your memory and legacy alive in my heart, soul, and being. Everything I do, I will do in your honour. This isn’t goodbye, this is see you later; this is keep the seat next to you warm for me.
I love you always, your loving daughter:
Kristen

Dearest Nancy, Melanie, Kristen and Millie,
As difficult as this may be to conceive, I find peace in knowing how blessed I was to have Richie in my life. He was a caring brother-in-law, loving uncle to my boys, and faithful godfather to Derek. He was a loving friend. I will miss him dearly! May the family ties never cease! May god hold you, help you, and see you through! Love you guys!

My beautiful Dad. Daddy, I know you are looking down on all of us. Your smile still radiates in my heart and my soul. I wore your T-Shirt today and it gave me great comfort knowing you are still here. You helped me become the strong woman I am today. Although you are no longer physically here, you will forever remain in my heart and soul. Until we meet again Daddy. I love you forever and always.
Your loving daughter,
Melanie aka Peanut ❤️

Nancy, there are no words to express how we feel about all this and my dear brother-in-laws passing. Friday you guys picked us up at the airport. He bought us bagels because he knew how much we loved them. Then he let us listen to old Polish Polka songs which he said he was going to have them play at the wedding. Nancy, we were hysterical and you rolled your eyes at him. He was such a kidder. We miss him so much. He was not just a brother in law, but true family. Love u Richie
