Hello Lou, I found this site quite by accident. I just wanted to pass on my condolences to you and your family. I understand your grieve and my heart goes out to you in your loss. I too have lost someone very dear to me recently, your friend Richie. But he chose to take his own life. I lost him 3 times, in divorce, recently in friendship and now forever to God. I try to make sense of all this but it seems so hard.
