I had the pleasure of graduating from the Massachusetts State Police with Richard (Red) in 1964. He was a great guy and fellow trooper. He will be sorely missed. My profound condolences to his family and especially his wife.

It was a privilege and an honour to have met both Red and Sheila, both were such an engaging couple. We met them in Clearwater every winter and enjoyed their company. They were the most appreciative couple, always ready to help anyone. Red was a very interesting and knowledgeable and strong man, he will be missed by everyone who knew him. His faith was a great source of comfort to him and an inspiration for the rest of us. Rest In Peace Red, know that you were loved by a lot of people and will me missed.
Dear Shiela. We were so saddened to hear about Red. We know he has been struggling. He was a wonderful man. And always a true gentleman. We enjoyed seeing him in the restaurant.
Please find comfort in these very sad times.
Rest In Peace Red.

To Sheila, the children and grandchildren: I wish to extend my heartfelt condolences for your loss. I will always have the fondest memories of Dick as a friend and fellow classmate of the 46th RTT. He always greeted me at our yearly 46th RTT dinner reunions with a hardy “WOJO.” His kindness and friendship will always remain with me.
I will keep Dick and you in my thoughts and prayers.
God bless,
Walter ‘WOJO’ Wojciehowski
46th RTT MSP
