This is coming from one of my best gal pal - Kathie Romeo-Nunez....
"Ok- where do I start? Three things come to mind when I think "Richie"
Barb's (surprise) 30th BDay Party- need I say more? He coordinated an awesome event and made sure Barb brought an incredible dress to wear! Above and beyond the call of duty.
When Barb was preggers with Sofia and not feeling well- she couldn't make my little BDay get together in Midtown. Richie came to the get together on her behalf. I thought this was very sweet- especially since most guys wouldn't bother. Not many men would "represent" their Chica like that!
Lastly, a few years ago I asked Richie for feedback on a friend's resume (also in the IT industry) and Richie tore it apart. I shared the feedback with my friend- and it didn't go very well. I said "He's like the Director of IT at Marvel- I'd listen if I were you".
Happy Birthday Richie and many, many more!!
Kathie"

Down for "WhatEva"
As most of you know my favorite night of the year is Halloween (except for our kids' birthdays, of course!)
And one of the things about Richie I fell in love with was (and still is) that he's down for 'WhatEva' especially when it came down to costume ideas for Halloween. Richie always says that Halloween is all about me :-)
So here are some of my favs through the years: (bk - before kids)

A True Friend - Happy Birthday....
Well written by Jay Micallef (a.k.a Rock Star):
"I don’t recall the exact time Richie became one of the few people I could always count on in my life. Maybe it was when my car broke apart on the Verrazano Bridge, sending my tire 50 ft in the air or finding out he could keep a secret I needed to get off my chest. Richie once drove me from Bleecker St to Hofstra in the middle of the night. Not sure if it was the smartest thing to do, but we survived, & being smart wasn’t the point. Someone I could count on is how I will always think of Richie. Need a best man call Richie. Godfather for your kid? Call Richie. Extra ticket for the game, Richie will go. Happy Birthday. Always stay true to yourself & always stay 2 years older than me."
