Thinking of you in this difficult time, sending prayers and love.
John and I worked together representing research and development companies during our early careers. On many occasions we traveled to remote sites as management representatives and consultants where we spent a great deal of time together along with other employees. I considered John not only a very valuable employee but also a good friend. Please accept my sincere sympathy in your loss. Peace be with you. Ken
May peace comfort you during this difficult time.
Ellen, Maura, and John,
Uncle Bud was a gem and I remember so well how he shaped my young life with love, wisdom and a great sense of humor. My favorite memory is when he took me on my first plane ride to Delaware for a visit with Aunt Mary and Uncle Paul. I was 12 years old and the quiet one (there had to be one in the family) and he gently brought me out my shell to see the wonders of Philadelphia and the liberty bell, enjoy the Amish people and their culture, and have a laugh filled gab fest (as Mom would say) with Aunt Mary and Uncle Paul. He leaves all of the Riccelli clan with beautiful memories to carry us through until we see him again!! He was the best Uncle a girl good have – He Rock’d!!……….All my love and sympathy………Mary
I’m saddened to hear of Bud’s death. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family at this time.

My dear sister Ellen, my niece Maura and my nephew John,
So many wonderful memories – a whole lifetime full. Crazy gifts at Christmas, singing forbidden worm songs, but one of my favorite memories occured before either of you were born. My mother died when I was 22. I had planned to go on a trip with a friend driving up route 1 to Bar Harbor. At the last minute plans changed and another person was coming and we were going to Montreal. It ended with three guys we met in a bar in our hotel room with nothing virtuous on their minds. I left the group, took a cab to the airport and flew home. I called Ellen and told her the story. Ten minutes later, I get a call from Ellen – Bud says don’t unpack your bag, we are going to New York. I’m sure he paid for everything and the memory I have is from a picture of the two of us having a pillow fight. I could not have asked for a kinder brother-in-law.
Dear John,
Jim and I are very saddened to hear about your Dad. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
