See Condolences

Rich, you were our favorite mixologist and the good times at 'The Post' always make me smile. I always appreciated you lending me your Sinatra albums. Rest in peace, my friend.

Miss you like crazy!!

May Richard have eternal rest and peace. GOD Bless. He was a good man.

Well,

He sure worked hard at two jobs, both the Acme all those years and the Post and Paddock. Also took care of his mom . Does anybody remember that Buick Riviera. What a beautiful car that was.....
He was a good man, a quiet man.

I will say a prayer for him

Shocked to here of Richard's passing. Always had fun working with him. Also back in the day we would meet at the Grey Fox for a cocktail where he was bartender. I will miss crossing paths with him.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Rest in peace my dear friend.

I was saddened to read about Dick's passing. I remember Dick from my decade with Acme back in the 1980's. He was always joking about something and was a heck of a mixologist. Rest in Peace my Friend. Guy Boyle (Macon, GA)
