Condolence: Rich was unforgettable. we worked together for many years and even though I have moved to North Carolina, I will remember him always. Always a good laugh with Rich around. Prayers for his family.

Condolence: I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Rich, we worked together and he was a great person. May all the good memories help you thru this difficult time.

Condolence: I was very sorry to hear of your loss. Rich was a great guy. We worked together off and on for all of our careers and whenever I needed something done, Rich was the guy and all it cost was a cup of coffee. We will all miss him.

Condolence: I am so sorry for your loss. I have many great memories of time spent with Rich during the years we spent working together. He was a good man and a good friend. My sincere condolences to you.

Condolence: Dear Joan and Family, please accept my sincere condolences on Richie's passing. I'm stunned, likely we all are, to have heard the news. Richie had a personality that could fill a room, and often did. I was privileged to have had him as a manager, a team lead, a colleague, and most of all, a friend. I honestly can't remember a time at IBM without Richie being a part of whatever we did. Whether it was work related issue or one of the many the extra curricular activities we all participated in, he could always be relied on to bust someone's chops and share a laugh. We'll all miss him dearly.

Condolence: Cathy, Mark, Mark, Randy, Brody & Joan-
Our deepest sympathies on the loss of "Mr. Heller" - never did get used to calling him Rich or Rick. :-) You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Tracy,John & the rest of the Graviano clan

Condolence: I was so sad to hear of Rich's death. I worked with Rich at IBM on the IMS team - he was one of the best IMS technicians I've ever known. He was also one of the nicest people I've ever met. The world has lost a very special man. My sympathies to his family.

Condolence: Joan,
Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this time.

Sincerely,
Rich Bardy and Miriam Cina

Condolence: Dear Joan, Cathy and Family,

Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of Rich. Please remember all the good times you had with Rich and keep those memories alive forever. This world was definitely a better place with Rich in it and I consider myself quite fortunate to have known him. We all share in your sorrow and pray that you will find much comfort, peace and strength during this very difficult time.

Richie was perhaps one of the most influential members of the IBM East Fishkill Data Center & System Support Teams and was a great friend to all of us. I was privileged to have once worked with Rich as a member of that highly talented IMS System Support Team that he led and then later as a member of adjacent System Support Teams (CICS, MQ) that interacted with his IMS Team. Richie’s IBM Office Door was always open to everyone to share a laugh, seek a technical opinion, or to seek moral and emotional support when you had a bad hair day in that crazy world of System Support or life in general. Richie was a true 24x7 friend to us all and he will never be forgotten! Rest in Peace Rich!

Best Wishes to All!
