My deepest sympathy to Nikki and the Albano / Zenola family. I couldn't find the words to honor my good friend so I will simply say... Thank you for those Saturdays getting our hair styled at Capelli LTD. Thank you for playing on our softball team while wearing Sharkskin pants. Thank you for your smile and laughter. Thank you for being my "Best Man" at my wedding and me being yours. And especially, thank you for being my friend for over 60 years. Rest in Peace, you are in good hands

Dear Albano Family, We are saddened to hear of Richard passing on. He is in God's hands now. We wish to send our sympathy to the entire family of Richie, and hope his family heals quickly. We were boyhood friends on Race Ave in Chicago. God bless the Albano family and friends. Anthony "Buzz" and Bette Spilotro

I wish your family courage and peace in the coming days and that they are able to experience Jesus's healing love. Blessings, cousin! See you on the other side. Cousin Carmein Jannotta Blasucci

We are ALL going to miss you Grandpa, Rich, my best friend that I have taken care of these past 8 years! You are truly an inspiration for trying as hard as you could to keep moving forward and fight as hard as you could, for as long as you could. May the gates to heaven be big, bright, and shiny gold and you walk through them with all of your favorite "Earth Wind & Fire" songs playing...while you dance your way through them to your next destination where we all WILL see you again with that big smile, corny laugh, and telling good jokes to keep everyone else laughing and smiling as well. We love you and will miss you forever and ever. Now you lay in peace, but tomorrow, we will all play cards with you looking over our shoulders helping us and guide us, as we shuffle our ways through life! R.I.P. to the best husband, dad, grandpa, uncle, and friend ever!

Bless you Rich and your family, thanks much for all the good memories. We will miss you much and our family will comfort each other Cousin Mike
