Dear Renee, John, Tina, Lisa, Donna and Mia and the rest of your family, Omg I’m just learning that Biggie has passed! I’m so very sorry for your loss. He was such a good guy and friend. I have many great memories of him and time I spent with your family. RIP my dear friend.
My condolences to Pat, and of course, Richard's family.
Years ago, I had the privilege of having him photograph my dogs. The photos captured my pups in appearance and spirit. While the dogs have passed on, the pictures remain and I cherish them. I just wanted you to know his photos had touched my life too.
Uncle Dick, all you ever did was give. Thank you for always being there for my mom and I, and Papa & Mama Belle. One of my favorite memories with you was celebrating the end of fall semester sophomore year on a cold rainy night with enough pizza from Park Lane to make me sick, and mom getting mad at us. It was a joy and a privilege to grow up around you.
It's so sad to hear of the passing of Biggie I have alot of fond memories of Dick my parents lived across the street from John and Renee and as a young teenager I was very eager to learn about Dick's business as a photographer showing me all the camera's and how he developed the pics, he was such a gentleman always joking around and that big sense of presence he had when he was in the
room.
God Bless you "Biggie" Rest in Peace

RIP ‘Biggie’! I always enjoyed being in your presence! Such a positive attitude and patience with trying to get people in the right pose! You did an incredible job on our wedding pictures! When we look at them they will always remind us of you
Go To Light! 🙏
My condolences go out to the Caldarelli Family and Pat. Dick was my sister in-law Donna's brother . He did our wedding photos for us and I will always cherish our beautiful photos. I felt so blessed we chose him, that day he also stepped up and guided my cousin who was doing the music at our wedding. She had no clue what to do, since her first wedding she DJ.
Thanks to Dick and his experience with weddings he guided her on how things were to be done. We were so glad that we both saw Dick recently in March to celebrate my husband Brothers birthday.
He was very funny that day and was in good spirits. Pat you had a great guy there, he was one of a kind. Love always, Joe & Wendy Burke

Dick and I shared a decades long passion for the Civil War, Gettysburg and our collections from that conflict. In our last conversation on Sunday the 27th we reminisced about our historical interest and the fascinating journeys we experienced. Dick my kindred spirit, I miss you.
