Dear Karen and kids,
I am so very sorry to hear about Richard's untimely passing. Richard was a great man and an incredibly kind person. I have many fond childhood memories that would never have come to pass without Richard's great effort. The neighborhood block parties that Richard helped orchestrate were one of the many things that made Rockland Road a great street to grow up on. Richard's regular willingness to play basketball with many of the neighborhood kids is truly remarkable and a great testament to his kindness. God bless him and your family. You and Richard are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Brendan Higgins

Dear Karen and Family:
I just wanted to leave a note expressing how sorry I am for the loss of Richard. He was a terrific man, and I know he will be sorely missed.
Growing up on Rockland Road, my brother, the Lindsay boys, the Brewster kids, and I were awfully lucky to have Richard just down the street.
There was never a Saturday morning when Richard was too busy to play basketball with us. I remember epic three-on-three games in front of 116 Rockland. When you hit a big shot, Richard made you feel like a million bucks. When you lost, he congratulated you on a great effort.
Richard was also instrumental in organizing the Rockland Road summer block party. This annual event included a volleyball game, a piñata competition, and a pie eating contest. There was plenty of great food, and the party continued long after sunset.
Thanks to Richard's wonderful personality, growing up on Rockland Road just couldn't have been better. Richard's sense of humor, generosity, and kindness were gifts he shared with everyone.
God bless him.
Sincerely,
Kevin Higgins

Loving all the block parties thanks for always being there when we knocked on the door. You were a great role model and friend. He will be missed and loved always. Wish I could of been up there.

Farewell to a wonderful person. Rockland Road would not have been the same without the O'Brien's. Remembering how Rich put out a basketball net in front of the his house and shot hoops with all the boys on the block, including our sons. So funny when they would knock on his door to ask if Mr. O'Brien could come out to play! Wonderful memories created by Rich for all of us.

Dear Karen, Katie and Connor,
We offer our heartfelt sympathy to all of you at this most difficult time. We fondly remember with great appreciation Richard's enthusiasm and kindness to our sons Kevin and Brendan in their childhood years on Rockland Road. Richard willingly played basketball with the boys whenever asked and helped to oversee yard games (with your help, Karen) for the annual block party, which you both orchestrated. Simple acts of kindness, long remembered and appreciated by your neighbors...
You are all in our thoughts and prayers,
Mary Ellen & Bill Higgins and family

I have worked with Rich for over 20 years as a supplier of weather services to Fox News and considered him not just as a client but as a friend. We bonded when he was setting up the look of FNC in 1996 with long rides up to our office in Massachusetts and with countless meetings in his office over the years. I always looked forward to spending time with Rich - he was gregarious, curious, and fun to be with. He was so proud of Katie and Conner, and although I have never met them, I feel like I watched them grow up.
I just recently spoke to Rich where we discussed a number of things including what he wanted to do next. I am so sorry for your loss and I can honestly say he was an amazing and optimistic person who I will truly miss.
