  10. CandleImageRichie,

    We were close. We were very close friends. I’ve been there for you during some of your toughest and rough patches. We’ve shared great memories. I wish you didn’t leave so soon man, why? You had a successful future ahead of you most couldn’t imagine or comprehend. You have a wonderful family and great friends. You achieved and accomplished more than most and you took that for granted man. You are stubborn and you were gonna do what you wanted regardless of what anybody told you. People adored and love you. You lived in the fast lane for sure. I wrote and am writing songs for you with Patrick and more with Zack, too. You inspired me too, man. You had a bright future ahead of you. We were gonna do great things together. Now I have to do them alone. I have to hold down the fort. On the flight to LA I cried when I heard the news. Ian, Paul, O, Amber, Anna, my brother, your brother, dad, mom and family loves you. Pat and Zack love you man — so so so so many people man. You’ll be missed. I know we had our tiffs but you wanted the best for me as I did for you. This is hard for me and everyone. It still hasn’t hit me that you are gone. I never got to tell you I love you before you left us. Rest easy man. Until we meet again

  11. CandleImageMe and my family are very sad to receive this tragic death news of dear Richie. May God give strength to sister Suman and family to bear this loss. May God gives peace to departed soul.

    Richie. The loss of you has impacted me more than I ever thought possible. We may not have been blood but you are my brother. Our 20 years of friendship will never be forgotten. Your goofy smiles always lit up the room. But i deeply regret how how we drifted apart when I moved away.

May his soul be with almighty Lord and in peace. He will be missed always. “We love u Richie “

  25. CandleImageI can’t wrap my head around the fact that Rich is actually gone. I keep thinking that this a really bad joke and I will see him at Trader Joe’s or I will look down at my phone and see one of his novel long text. Often I’d stop by Riches place on my way home. Never would I call I would just pull up and he’d walk out and give me a beer. Always welcoming and offering advice. Rich spoke in such a wise way. I will miss our banter as obnoxious as it was we found it very funny. Thank God for the time we did have together. One day I will meet you again and I’m sure you will be there with a beer then show me all the best spots. Rest in peace my friend.

  66. CandleImageरिची एक जिंदादिल इंसान कैसे जीवन जीता है, आपकी फोटो देखकर इसका अहसास हुआ। जीवन को काटना व जीना दो अलग पहलू हैं और आप जीवन जीने वालों में रहे। रिची बचपन में आज से तीन दशक से भी पहले एक ही बार जब आप और मैं दोनों छोटे थे, कानपुर में मामा जी के घर पर मिलना हुआ। इसकी याद मेरे जेहन में उस समय चाचा जी द्वारा क्लिक की गई फोटो को देखकर बरबस याद हो उठती है। जीवन अमर नहीं है, यह सभी जानते हैं, लेकिन जीवन को अधूरा छोड़ना भी तो सही नहीं दोस्त। फेसबुक पर लंबे समय से रिची आपसे जुड़ा रहा, बात भी हुई, लेकिन आप जिंदगी को इस तरह से छोड़कर हमें रोता छोड़ जाओगे, इसकी कभी कल्पना नहीं की थी। आपके अंतिम संस्कार के कठिन पलों में ऐसे शामिल होना होगा, कतई सोचा नहीं था। रिची आप जैसे जिंदादिल इंसान भले ही शारीरिक रूप से आज जुदा हो गए हों, लेकिन जीवन में आप इन दिलों में अंतिम समय तक रहोगे। आपके माता-पिता यानी हमारे चाचा जी व चाची जी को परमात्मा इस बेहद कठिन समय को सहने की हिम्मत बख्शे और आपको हमेशा अपने पास रखे।
    अलविदा ए जिंदादिल इंसान

  81. CandleImageMy name is Linda Hill and I work with Suman in San Francisco. I met Richie a number of times when he was in SF visiting his mom. One weekend when he was in town, we all went to the Kentucky Derby Day at Golden Gate fields. We dressed up and wore our hats just as though we were in Louisville enjoying it live. It was a great day, beautiful sunshine, action, and great people. I will always think of Richie just like he was on that day. Full of life and enjoying it every minute. My heart goes out to Suman and her family.

  82. Suman, I have no words, what can one say in this circumstances?
    All I can do is to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
    There is a quote that has given me some hope in times of mourning, it is full of truth and meaning.
    ” Life is eternal; and love is immortal; and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight”.

  83. CandleImageSuman – sending love and healing prayers to you, Shawn and your entire family during this time of inconceivable loss and sorrow. Please know your NC friends are here to support you. xoxox

  85. CandleImageMy deepest sympathy and condolences to the Gera family, friends, loved ones and colleagues of Richie Gera. I am sending love and prayers of peace and comfort. His love and spirit will always be with you.
