So saddened for your loss and will remember you both in my prayers. I remember him from when he attended Bando classes at the Millsop Center many years ago.
My condolences to the Bucci family. Rich and I grew up together in Weirton, and I still remember the days he and I played guitar together. God Bless, and peace be with you my friend.
So sorry to hear of Rich’s passing. He was such a funny, loving, charismatic person and he will be missed.
Remembering his kindness and sincere nature. Saddened for a young life taken from those who loved him. May his spirit soar….
He was always a pleasure to speak with about music as he and I shared the same love in that regard. I can only imagine he’s jamming with John Bonham backing him up.
Although I never met Rich in person, I had heard so many good things from my friend Christine about him, his adventures, his remarkable accomplishments and the positive influence that he had on others. He sounded like an amazing person and was taken too soon from those who dearly loved him. To his friends and family that loved him, I am very sorry for the great loss of Rich and all that he gave back to the world. May he rest in eternal peace, and may God bless him on his journey into eternity.
I’m so sorry to hear about Rich. He was such a nice person. He was so nice to my daughter and me. It’s so sad to know that he’s gone.
We offer our prayers and condolences to Rich’s family. We are saddened by the news of his passing. Rich was kind-hearted and bright, with a great sense of humor. He will surely be missed.
I spent a lot of time with Rich over the years, as part of a group. He was funny and silly at times, and also passionate about his beliefs and opinions, which I respect. He also had a good heart. I remember on several occasions when I hosted a get-together or party, he genuinely thanked me for the meal I made, showing his gratitude in words and warm tone of voice.. I was touched by that every time. I pray that he has peace.
Richy, I will definitely miss you at our holiday gatherings and hearing you sing and play the guitar! You were so smart, talented, and funny! I love you and miss you dearly!
Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. Know that God is aware of the tears you are shedding. (Psalm 56:18) He will soon do what is said at Acts 24:15, which promises us of a resurrection of our loved ones. May that bring you hope. Take comfort in your good memories and allow your family and loving friends to help you through this difficult time.
