He worked at various hospitals and health care settings as an X-ray technician and manager of the department his retirement in 2005 from Dobbs Ferry Hospital. He proudly served as a member of the Thornwood Volunteer Fire Department for 53 years, becoming a life member.

It was in Yonkers that Rich met the love of his life, Gloria Depole in 1957. They married and moved shortly after to Thornwood to raise their family. They were blessed to spend 62 happy years together.

He was always there supporting his children and grandchildren in various sports, education and dance recitals. We always knew he was there and continue to be there in spirit. Everyone that knew him came to love him and knew him as Rich, Dad, and finally PopPop (which he truly embraced).
