    I will remember Richard for his love of his family and his home. He always was willing to open his home to all of us. We had wonderful discussions around his kitchen table and fun looking at all the antique treasures he would find. My sincere sympathy to all the Greene family on the loss of Richard, especially his children, Richard, Michelle and Melissa, who he loved dearly. I do so regret not being able to be with you at this time. My love and thoughts are with all of the family. Love, Dianne

    Great memories of Boston. My first time seeing snow was at Richard's. I played for hours out in the snow and everyone thought I was nuts. I will always remember the great times at the Cape. Always a guarunteed good time when Richard and his family woud visit us there and his laugh was second to no one. My thought and prayers are with you all.

    I have fond memories of Richard from our summer family vacations as a child. The day after school was out, we would be on the first flight out. We would spend time with the family down the Cape. Just this past Thanksgiving I was looking at some of the old photo albums. I saw some great family pictures of us all crammed together on the back porch. I remember as a teenager... In Richard's kitchen, along with all of his coper pots collection hanging on the walls... by the kitchen door was a soda machine... I also remember passing the phone around as Richard would make his calls to us in California. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love, Denise
