Did not know about my friend dick passing away. Certainly one of the nicest people I've ever known. Always cheerful, never another way. I was a superintendent in residential construction and had the pleasure of dealing with dick many many years. So sorry for your loss.

Dick DePirro is one of the finest men I have ever met. A dedicated family man, a loving husband and friend to many. He is smart, talented, hard working and a great teacher to anyone who would welcome his help. He was a father to me in every sense of the word. His passing will have and impact on all who were fortunate enough to know him. Heaven has been blessed with a true angel. I look forward to the day when we will see each other again. May God bless you

An amazing man! I have beautiful jewelry pieces created by him! I will always remember what a Special man he was! Since I met him when I was Little young girl, I know he had a Heart of Gold! I loved every time I saw him! Always so happy And so very proud! May you all be embraced by the comfort of our Lord during this difficult time! much Love to All of you!❤️❤️

Rich was an amazing man. He was always there with a helping hand if needed. My kids loved him as a grandfather. He was always willing to share a special treat with them whenever he saw them. He will truly be missed, but happy he is at peace now. Love you Rich!

I loved your your dad. He had a lot of personality. I met him and your family through Lois, my neighbor.  She always called him Uncle Dick so I did too when I had the privilege of being invited to your family’s gatherings. David and I send our sincerest condolences.  

I will treasure the times Mr. DePirro and I sat at the kitchen table in his daughter's home and just talked...about everything.  I will treasure all the jewelry he made me and I will miss him terribly.  What a truly loving and gifted man.  The Heavens are better off now that he is there.

We have had wonderful conversations with Dick and Eleanor at family gatherings. It is a good memory that we will cherish.

Our condolences to all the family.

Ron and Mary

Your father was a kind and sweet man.  I’m glad I knew him.   I’m glad I got to see him not too long ago.   

God bless you all.

Rich was the best neighbor anyone could ask for. He was a great family man, always a smile on his face. He was so nice to my mom every time she came over to visit. He will be missed around the court.
