Richard Venere loved his wife Joanne, his children, his 10 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren. He also enjoyed his friends and being with people. You may have seen him traveling around town or around the country. He would be easy to recognize, wearing his orange Peterbilt hat and sharing both a smile and a story with a long-time friend or someone he just met. As they parted, you would hear him say “hasta la vista”.
Richard, Dad, Grandpa, Brother and friend, hasta la vista, see you later and until next time. You carry our love with you. Ciao, until we meet again.
