This coming February will mark the fourth year of Richie’s absence in the physical form. Anyone who knew him must still be contemplating this huge loss and grieving his absence.
Our family knew Richie’s in his earlier years growing up in East Norwich -Oyster Bay as we were (are) close family friends. I have many happy memories and mental images of Richie, Tom and Caroline as we would get our kids together weekly. One such memory is when Richie and my oldest daughter begged to go the the local pet store. I can’t say the other kids showed quite the same enthusiasm but Richie and Christy were over the moon when a little puppy was brought into to the cubicle. I recall thinking to myself, “ these two have really tender hearts”.
It proved true. When the family came for our daughter’s wedding in 2017 we had more time with Rich. His humor- quick and so sharp, his kindness-palpable. We’re so thankful to have these memories and more. Truly- his spirit is alive and well and I have- more than once-felt his presence among us.
Prayers for the entire Treacy family as continued grieving and healing comes slowly. And to all who knew and loved him- in some mysterious way- the sparkle in his eyes that we could not miss, helps bring some measure of comfort.
All our love,
Gary and Alia Braaten
Christy, (Elliot), Lisa (Jon), Heidi (Aaron) and Lori.

In my 4th and final post, I will list some of my favorite things about Richie:
1. His laugh and smile. He had the best high pitch laugh if you got him rolling. He wasn't an easy laugh. I tried and failed a lot. But when I got him, it was the best. I got him for several minutes. Red-faced, keeled over. His smile lit up the room always. It was infectious.
2. How meticulous he was, always looking neat and clean. His beautiful golden hair perfectly combed whenever he left the apartment. His clothes always looking nice. He always looked strong and handsome. I wish he grew out his hair, but he never would. Always like a 1950s ad man with that 3/4 part tight on the dome. And he was always clean shaven, nothing out place. A true gentleman. I mean we had some tough mornings, but he cleaned up the best.
3. His amazing wit, he NEVER missed a chance to insert a joke anywhere or anytime.
4. The way he could sleep in arctic temperatures. His room was kept below 60 in the summer, but felt like 20. He was a polar bear. He liked it about 40-50 and not too much sun.
5. The way he loved to eat and drink like me. He was so polite and good to me, he'd even offer me the last slice. I loved to watch him eat it. We loved a nice vodka Fresca, not too many of course. We would never.
6. His physical comedic gifts. His eyes, his body movement, his smile. No one could match his timing and delivery the way he used his body and face for a laugh.
7. His storytelling. He could make a routine trip to Best Buy turn into a 45 minute comedy show. He had every detail down, every nuance, every joke. And Tom and I would roll over laughing. He took a story about buying a drone and Eddie Murphy could not have told it better. The story was rather simple. The drone was at the store, actually 2 of them...he wound up finally getting it and also selling another drone to a woman shopping for one, since he did all the research why not help her and he was also helping the Best Buy salesperson, typical Richie helping people, but to take something so simple and turn it into comedic genius was him. The way he described the salesperson using his face, the woman he convinced to buy the other drone, the process, the interactions...genius.
8. His complexity. Tough but vulnerable. Shy but could kill the room. Kind but not soft. Deep but not too serious. Outgoing but private. He could do it all. He was wonderfully complex.
9. Couch time. That's what we called it. The weeknights or weekends we just sat on the couch, watched something and talked for hours on end while having a nice meal and drinks. We had that European sensibility...life is to be eaten, drank and discussed with good humor. Once he got home and decompressed after slamming the door in my face with no hello, the night got started. I loved it. If I wanted to bother him before couch time, I would try and talk to him before the 30 minutes were up. And I would act like I needed to tell him something. He was so polite always, but it was so evident that he needed that time alone I just stopped bothering him. Hilarious. His face told me everything.
10. His person. He was just one of the best people to me, one of a few that really knows me. The void is terrible, but the memories fill it and I know we will see each other again.
I am sure there are others, but tomorrow will be too hard. Rest with God my brother. I look forward to our conversations from here always.

In my third post (I cannot say that I am done yet), I would like to share some lessons about life that Richie taught me. We talked about life a lot and it was our favorite thing to do together. While Tom was out running Manhattan like Joe Namath in the 1960s, Richie and I had hundreds of weeknights together trying to figure this world out.
1. Be your own person and don't apologize for it. Richie respected everyone and was kind to everyone, but he lived his life as he wished, not for somebody else's opinion. Most people could live 100 years and not have the courage to cut through the BS like Richie did. He had that part of life figured out early...don't live for everyone else's opinion of you. It doesn't matter. Enjoy your life as you wish while respecting and being king to others.
2. Your happiness and joy comes from what you are doing. As Jackie and I were getting more serious, I would talk to Richie about our relationship everyday and get his thoughts on if this was "it" for me. The most profound thing he told me that always stuck with me and guided me even more to her was when he said to me "Joe, look at how you've changed when you're with her...you're the happiest you've ever been!" And that was the simple truth, being with her made me happy and fulfilled. And Richie helped me see that with his genius way of keeping things simple. I just wanted to be with her and that immense happiness from being with her is all I needed to know. Your happiness should come from what you're doing with your life. Don't let it pass you by and you'll see it when you look around once in a while.
3. When you try something or learn something new, dive in all the way. Richie would get into new things all the time...cooking a new dish, learning about drones, learning about the military, watching documentaries, learning about skydivers with GoPros, strongmen competitions, anything that caught his eye. And then he would learn EVERYTHING about it. I really admired that. It was awesome to see. His brilliant mind and curious nature were inspiring. I always winged it, but he taught me to pay attention to detail and become an expert. It helped my career immensely. I learned to be patient, learn the details and become a resource for my clients. Why wing it when you can be all in?
4. When you have an impulse to do something, do it! Richie always tried new things, traveled, learned, grew as a person, got interested in things...it was awesome to see as his buddy. He didn't wait for later.
5. When you're friends with someone, learn everything about them, too...it makes a really awesome friendship. A lot of times we know people, but we really don't know them on the inside. Richie took time to really understand your person and that's why I am so lucky to have known him and miss him so terribly. He took joy in friendships and gave everything to them with his heart.
6. Be happy for your friends, family and loved ones ALWAYS. Richie was always happy for Tom, Caroline and me. He was so proud of Caroline for her incredible special effects talent, showing me pictures of the characters she would make up on set. He loved how Tom was so driven and so successful at anything he did. He was just happy even simply seeing us. One time he saw me randomly on the street near Grand Central around 2019. By that time, I had a home in Yonkers and did not come in the city as often. He said "I can't believe I saw you! I feel like I won the lottery. What are the odds?" He was just so happy to see and be with the people he loved. It's an amazing quality. Taking joy in others is a tremendous gift.
7. Pizza should be cherished. I always loved pizza but Richie REALLY loved pizza. He made me love it even more and rightfully so. It's pretty much the perfect food. And in general, always appreciate good food and strong drinks. It makes for a much happier life.
8. Take pictures. We always snapped a photo when we could. It's so great to have them when you have free time. I have a million pictures of my son, family, friends and dog, and they don't get old. You'd be surprised how much they mean to you after you take them.
9. Make everyone else at ease. He was the best at that...he could sense when a group of people or one person needed to be spoken to or felt unnoticed. And he would come in and charm everyone or that person, making them comfortable.
10. You can be introverted and extroverted at the same time. Richie was very private at times. I knew to give him 30 minutes after work to decompress. I knew that because the door to his room was slammed shut when he came home without much of a hello from him when he walked in. That was okay. We all need a little time to ourselves. And he never needed to be the center of attention. But he could light up a room anytime he wanted. I always struggled with being introverted and extroverted at the same time, but he let me know that was ok. You don't have to be one thing. Life is complex. Richie never judged anyone, he just wanted to know if you were a good person and then he opened his arms with his bear hug that I miss so much.
11. Verbalize how you feel about your loved ones to them...Richie was great at this trait. He always told me what he loved about me and it really made me feel good. His encouragement got me through a lot of times I felt down or alone. It took me a while to find my way while many of my friends were already very successful, including Tom. He let me know that was okay and I would be fine. He always knew what to say. But even if he didn't say much, he just knew by being positive that it helped. A small verbalization goes a long way to someone. He also knew that I clearly liked to write and would do voice notes and comedy writing for friends. I always wanted to do comedy but was too shy. Maybe I will try now. Him and Tom got me studio time to record things I had written. Even though they knew I wasn't comfortable, they encouraged me and didn't make me feel stupid...especially Richie. He would always tell me that I could do something if I wanted to and had talent. When you don't believe it yourself, having a brother tell you that you can do something matters a lot. Living with him helped me come out of my shell even more because I watched him be authentically himself at all times.
12. Be authentic and be yourself at all times. He didn't care if he was being corny or funny or quiet. He just was himself. My grandfather loved this tee shirt that he wore a lot, it said "Tis Himself." Him and Richie had a lot in common. Richie, like Grandpa Joe, was always himself. Richie never compromised who he was for anyone. If he wanted to do something he did it, if not forget it. That takes courage of conviction. He wasn't being selfish. He loved his friends and family deeply, and he was kind to anyone. He was being true to himself and living how he wanted to live his life while respecting others.
13. Laugh as often as possible. Everyday, any time you can. Life doesn't make sense and is beyond our understanding. But life is absurdly funny. We laughed at everything. We found humor in anything. And it makes life so much better.
That's 13 lessons for 13 years of friendship, but I have so many more. I can't do him justice, but I am trying. We love you Richie, thank you for blessing us with your full life that taught me so much. God needs you up there for some joy as he looks down on our world today. He takes the best angels too soon. He could only let us have you so long. But I am so glad that he did.

In my previous post, I wanted to write about Richie as a friend and man. He was just an incredible person. I wanted to share some of his qualities today and a few more memories. He was extremely interesting, so fun to be with, curious about life and had such wonderful traits. He loved to travel and explore new places, meet new people and share ideas. We took many trips together...New Orleans, Saratoga, White Water Rafting upstate, among others. He had strong opinions but listened to yours, he was private and needed space but didn't shut you out, he loved to learn about new things and would dive in wholeheartedly, becoming an expert on something quickly. Then he would tell me all about it. He was an excellent cook. He often cooked Sunday dinners for Tom and I, a much needed activity to close out the weekend and be together. His food was amazing. We'd always have 2nds and 3rds. I even got him a cooking class because I thought he could be professional. He loved to learn and do. He knew martial arts and taught me a lot about our military and law enforcement. He was a patriot but not in that blind way that is closed off to new ideas. He was great at his career, helping countless people find their own careers. His co-workers loved him as he got to know them personally. He brought people together and introduced me to so many awesome people. We shared a deep love for the NY Football Giants and watched many games together. The 2011 Super Bowl victory was our favorite night of celebration. I can only share so much detail here, we need a few secrets. He loved his Villanova Wildcats and we'd watch them play often as he cheered them on with some fan gear. He didn't mind being the jester if people needed it...he made the best Christmas Santa. He went on adventures, seeing places like Alaska and telling me all about it. I admired his zest for life so much. He had a pioneer spirit, willing to say yes to new things, people and ideas. And if you were in his life, he made sure to learn all about you and your life. He was just one of the best people that I ever met and will ever meet. Intelligent, loving, caring, kind, the funniest man I knew, charming, fun...he had it all. He loved life and life loved him. Everyone I knew that got some time with him said he was a great guy and they wanted to know him better. His girlfriends adored him and I couldn't even get a date.
I had about 13 years with Richie as first a roommate but then quickly a brother. I took care of his beloved dog Jameson, walking him everyday after work, he was my buddy and Richie watched my rescue Arnie if I was away when Jackie and I got Arnie in 2016. Arnie doesn't like anyone, but he loved Richie immediately. He would sleep on Richie's lap. Dogs know. We had a lot in common. Two barrel-chested handsome devils that loved a good time, dogs, life, our great nation, food, libations and making people laugh. We lived together for 4 years and spent almost every night in those 4 years hanging out. I'd like to think that I had him figured out, but Richie was a complex man with so many interests and he was filled with spontaneity. He was unique and he was special. People who knew him just loved him, the true sign of greatness.
My wife told me that when we learn all the lessons we are supposed to in this life, we can be with God. Richie learned every lesson. Especially the big ones. He was kind to everyone, polite, inclusive, loving, caring and thoughtful. He loved with a huge heart and gave himself to others...putting others before himself...life's greatest lesson.
He loved Tom and Caroline and his family so much. We often spoke of them and their lives. I had a front row seat to watching the Brothers Treacy and their love for one another was just inspiring. As an only child, I just wanted to be a part of it. And they let me in with open arms. They knew each other so well it was scary. And they could push each other's buttons, it was very fun to watch. But no one came between them...and they were always there for each other. No matter where they were or had been, they always came back to each other to be together and be there for one another. They were each other's rock and I know Richie will continue to guide Tom, being his rock from above. And Richie made sure he was a great brother to Caroline as well, checking in on her and having her around to hang with us. Little did I know that Caroline might be the funniest one out of all of us and put me in my place quickly, "Richie says you're so funny...make me laugh now...c'mon" I just stumbled and ran to the bar for a drink. Richie loved his parents and I enjoyed watching him make them laugh. The love for him was so evident in their faces and I enjoyed spending time with them during Shin-Digs, Meat Carnivals or just a random weekend. His cousins loved him, too. He just made everyone in his family feel good and I was lucky enough to be part of his it for years.
Richie was so important to me that before every major decision I made in my 20s, I talked to him about it. I loved his perspective and advice. And his best advice was usually letting me figure it out for myself. But he would be the sounding board...a perfect friend because he knew that was exactly what I need with my personality. There were few things better after a long day of work than spending time talking to Richie in the apartment with a nice libation and good food. We must have watched a million Sopranos re-runs, but that was just background noise. We got each other through our 20s, everyone needs a friend to help figure those years out. Manhattan can be an unforgiving place. Riche was my friend that helped me with everything important. He understood me and I him, and that's hard to find. We only get a few of those people if we're lucky. And I was so lucky. Richie helped me on my life's path, without all those talks I wouldn't be here today...a much happier man with a career and amazing family. Many of my blessings today are a result of his advice and friendship. Once he knew Jackie was the one for me, he treated her like a sister and couldn't be happier for us. His encouragement always helped me move forward. He has always been my guardian angel, helping me along the way. I can't put into words how important he was to me over the last decade. He was at every major event in my life... groomsman at my wedding, Christening of my son, first home. His presence will be forever missed.
And while his presence is no longer in the physical form, I will have his spirit forever in my heart. I love you always Richie and will think of you everyday. I can't thank you enough for the impact that you had on my life and will continue to forever. Rest in heaven with God my brother. I look forward to seeing you again in our next chapter.

Rich was our Talent Acquisition leader for Pfizer Consumer Health for a number of years - we worked together frequently. Rich was kind, sweet and thoughtful. Always ready to help, share his guidance and nothing was ever too much trouble for him. He also often had a funny story to share and we would nearly always be laughing in our meetings together. I am so shocked and sorry to hear of his passing and the tremendous loss this will be to all who were lucky enough to know him.

I had the pleasure to work with Rich at Pfizer. What a great guy. Always had a smile on his face that made you smile back. Even if you didn’t feel like smiling that day. We were all so saddened by the news . I just saw Rich ,it seems like a few days ago , on a conference call. He was working with me and our team on a major project and he was dedicated to the end. I am the better to have had the opportunity to work with him. My thoughts and prayers are with the Treacy family. You can have peace in knowing that your son and brother, he was one of the good guys. A truly stand up gentleman. Smart, funny, respectful and so nice to be around. He saw the world as “glass half full “...we all can learn a lot from the life he lived.. He will be missed....

My deepest condolences to Rich's family and loved ones. He always had a jolly demeanor and witty sense of humor. I had the privilege of attending the infamous turducken event where I met his lovely family and did a cartwheel because he dared me to in order to win a tshirt. Rich will be dearly missed - his laugh and fun travel stories will stay with me forever. Still can't believe this sad news.

My deepest condolences to Rich's family. I had the pleasure to work with Rich the past few years and he was truly a wonderful person. He always had a big smile on his face that always cheered me up. It was really hard to not be happy around him. I will miss him dearly.

My deepest condolences to Rich's family and friends. I have had the honor of working with Rich over the past 7 years and he always brought laughter and joy to our team calls. He is hands down one of the wittiest people I have ever met and always had a big smile on his face. He will be missed so much by his Pfizer family.

Mr. and Mrs. Treacy, and all of Rich's family, I am so sorry for your loss. Rich was a classmate of mine at Villanova and just an absolute joy to be around. I know that his sense of humor and fantastic attitude will be missed by all who were lucky enough to know him. Since I can't be there for his funeral, I am having a Mass offered for him instead. The Mass is being said by the Marians of the Immaculate Conception in Stockbridge, MA.
My prayers are with you and Rich,
Much love,
Maura Adams Wenzel

Think of that friend or relative you have that truly cares about you, understands you completely and lets you be yourself at all times. They check in on you, they never judge you, they make you laugh uncontrollably, they genuinely enjoy seeing you happy and wish the best for you always. They care about your life and are kind to the important people in your life. They help you whenever asked and expect nothing in return. That was Richie for me. A best friend and brother. It's hard to encapsulate him here and the pain is like nothing I have ever felt. As an only child, my friends are everything. Richie was my groomsman, as close a friend as I could hoped for in this life and like a brother that I never had. We used to joke that I was the middle Treacy brother. A good combo of Richie and Tom, we had so much in common as friends. I got to learn all their nuances and quirks from living together for 4 years, it was the best. And we formed a bond like no other over the years, along with our other brother Mike Petit.
I had the absolute privilege of being Richie's friend with him letting me into his world. We lived together for 4 years but were friends for over a decade. He has been a huge part of my life in the most important years of my life...helping me during life's biggest decisions...career, marriage, family, etc. I could not possible relay here how great he was as a person. No one made me laugh harder or let me be myself like him. I will think about him everyday for the rest of my life and miss him terribly. Tom and I will keep his memory alive always, telling the endless stories we have about him and all the nuances of living with him that we loved. I had hundreds of nights with him on the couch, watching TV, laughing, talking about life. I will never forget that privilege of having the best ticket in town..no one was funnier than Richie. And every night his one goal was to make me laugh really hard and then he could go to bed. Imagine that? A friend who's focus is to only make you laugh. He was so selfless. Tom and I think we are headliners, but Richie was the true talent. He was so funny that he was selective about how he used his incredible talent. He knew if he let everyone in, the world would turn him into a comedian and he was private and did not want to be the center of attention like Tom and I are often happy to be. Tom and I both knew that Richie could take over the room whenever he wanted. He had a million ways to make you laugh and if he loved you all that he wanted to do was make you happy. He was the definition of a true friend and brother. I feel so grateful despite the physical pain in my heart. So grateful to have known this man who lit up my life and cared about me, my friends and my family.
One of my favorite Richie moments to share something funny was a few summers ago. Tom and I had been going back and forth trying to outdo each other with comedy as we often do. Richie let this go on for a while and we thought we were killing it. At one point Richie jumped in, as we were discussing food, and with his incredible physical gifts of timing and delivery that were completely unmatched, he said "I love you both, but I would kill both of you right now for a bowl of pasta." You had to be there to see his face while delivering that joke. I almost had a heart attack laughing. Comedy is content, but more than anything it is timing and delivery. And Richie was the master. I have a million of these stories from the countless hours we spent together. I will cherish them forever.
Please tell the people you love that you love them everyday. Life doesn't make sense and doesn't care about timelines. My life will never be the same but I am glad that Richie knew how much I loved him. I will talk to him everyday in my heart and I know that he will guide me as he always did. I was so lucky to have been close to him. Rest well my brother, I love you always. You will never be forgotten. Your talent and heart were unmatched and your life will be cherished by all of us forever.

From daily happy hour tabs at Gabby’s to making a huge memorable splash at my wedding, Rich was simply the best and I will miss him dearly.
To the Treacy family, I am so sorry for your loss and I hope you see over the next few days how many people were positively impacted by this great man.

My fondest memory of Richie is being my son Joe’s Roommate for almost 4 years along with Richies brother Tommy. My son is on only child so Richie was the kid brother Joe never had. Joe would tell me and my wife Linda the funny “adventures” that Richie and he would have always ending with a Laugh. We were truly blessed to have known Richie as were anyone that knew him. For me personally I will miss our discussions on favorite firearms whenever we got together.
With Love,
Kevin LoPresti.

Rich was such a consistently positive and supportive friend. Just three weeks ago, without knowing he was sick, he provided mentorship and guidance as he helped me create a professional resume for the first time. Applying for my MBA is the first time I have ever needed a resume- Rich spent multiple days mentoring me over the phone and reviewed multiple versions until we agreed that it was ready to submit. He was patient, intelligent, and incredibly supportive. I will never submit my resume without thinking of him, and I will never forget him.

Rich and I worked together at Pfizer where I was fortunate enough not only to call him my boss, but also my friend. I used to look forward to our regular check-in calls to catch up on life, share travel stories, swap some laughs, and sometimes even talk about work. It was hard not to smile when talking to Rich, as his kindness and positivity were contagious. Rich always took it upon himself to identify new ways to challenge me and to help me to develop in my career. I wouldn’t be in the position I’m in today if it hadn’t been for his mentorship. The news of his passing is absolutely heartbreaking, as he had a profound impact on my life - I wish that I could go back in time and tell him that. I’m lucky to have known him and he will be forever missed.
