Wedding Congratulations Richie P!

[Ted Craven]

Congratulations to our good friend Richie P who tied the knot with his sweetheart Karen A on their wedding this past Sunday October 14 in Stamford Connecticut.

Some of you met Karen last year at Saratoga when she and Rich came up from the city - and it was clear from seeing them together that Rich had finally, after all these years, met his perfect Matchup! Long life, much love and happiness to them both!

I'll post a picture from the happy occasion when I get it, meanwhile, here are a few items from the history books :)

I wanted so badly to be there.

I was there in spirit Thank you and Karen for the invitation Thank you for calling me just a few hours before the ceremony ( he sounded so nervous )
Thats Richie P for you , on this wonderful day he only wanted to
ask me about me. As always he cares so much for others

All the best to you and Karen

Love
Bill

I add my heartiest congratulations and love to these two wonderful people. My only regret is that circumstances wouldn't let me be there to join in this happy event.
I'm going to add a picture here of that same day last year at Saratoga. It poured buckets all day and the tent was inundated with water. These two had driven 4 hours to get down to be with us (Karen, meeting us for the first time). She will probably kill me for putting this picture up, but it shows what a trouper she is. She is a beautiful person and game for anything.
When I get them, I will put up a picture of the bride in all her glory. (maybe with Rich in the picture too, but I will have to see lol).

Richie, Richie, Richie,

do you know what you have gotten yourself into? Yikes!! 26 years ago at the wizened age of 40 I got married "against all odds". Never been happier and I hope you and Karen have uncountable years of happiness (and double digit mutuals too)

Congrats Richie


All the best,


Bill

Richie,

Of all the people I have never met, except online, you are my favorite. The reason being the honesty and heartfelt way you have conducted yourself on the horse racing boards over the years. Never afraid to admit your shortcomings, yet always willing to help anyone when they asked. I've always seen you as being fearless and am extremely happy that things are going so well for you. I am sure your mentor, Jim Bradshaw, is smiling from above.

Congratulations on the marriage. Your wife has married a great guy and I pray for your continued happiness and success. Check in when you can, but know that whether you have time to post or not, you will always be an integral member of this website and never forgotten.

Jim

Richie I do not know you personally, but feel like I do because of your many
unique posts. They show your wisdom and your care and concern for people. Karen must be a special person she recognized that you are person of great insight and spirituality.
Surely your life together will be blessed and happy. Don't forget to have fun.

Richie,

I just saw this my friend and would very much like to offer sincere congratulations and the best of everything to you and the lovely lady.

We haven't been in touch in a while, but I think of you often and greatly treasure your friendship. I do miss our regular interaction. You occupy a special place in my heart, head and life.

Again, congratulations and all happiness to you. I suspect the Hat is smiling.

Dick.
