Richard Petrone: Missing Since February 19, 2005
Time can never dull the radiance of your smile. And the passing years will never dim the sparkle in your eyes. The strength of your soul rolls on through the love you left behind. Another family now exists because of you and your memory will echo through their lives.

August 29, 2010: Richard’s 41st birthday
Good morning,Richard. Before I start the day, I first want to remember your birthday. You are in my thoughts all the time. Missing you and your smile. You will never be forgotten. I know you are up there smiling at all of us. Happy Birthday!! Love,

Wanting to recognize the 41st birthday of Richard’s and hoping that he is shining down his light on his family and knowing that his light is shining thru in his grandbaby Timmy. What a beautiful baby. He has brought so much joy to your family. May you enjoy those bright smiles. Happy birthday

Today should have been your day
Today should have been your day. A special day like no other. Today was the day to puff out your chest and enjoy the benefits of all those years of dedication and effort. Today should have been your 1st as Grandpop, Poppop. Thoughts of tossing baseballs, teaching Timmy how to skate, fishing trips, and movies and amusement rides and music should be filling your mind. But that is not to be. You can take pride in Angela and the wonderful Mother she is, and Timmy for the great Father he is… but you would be floored by the bundle of joy your grandson is. He has brought a love back to us that has been gone too long. Although I know your soul can never rest until we put a finish to this nightmare your heart can be at peace knowing that all is well with your angel and she is surrounded by love as is your grandson.

Marks the 5 Year Anniversary of Richard’s Disappearance
Five years on. Still no answers. But the circle of life goes on. There’s a grandson now who will never hear the sound of your laughter or the warmth of your embrace. Much like your birth created our family, his birth has brought us all closer together. He is surrounded by love, especially the love of his parents. They are completely dedicated to his care and you would be so proud of the remarkable mother that Angela is. Young Timmy has brought a joy that has been missing for some time. We all look forward to his visits and the girls smother him with hugs and kisses. You did good. You did very good my son, and we will continue what you began.

I just wanted to say that my heart goes out to your family. I have followed this story for many years now which is very hard to do in Texas. I pray that you will find closure this year and justice will be served swiftly.

The last time I spoke to Richard was 2 weeks before his disapearence. He called just to let me know a certain band was coming to town. There was excitement in his voice as there always was, as he spoke about the show. Richard always reached out and never forgot his friends. When he greated you it was with a REAL hug and a kiss on the cheek, like a real man and friend would do. I miss his hugs, I miss his phone calls, I miss his laughter. Love ya Brother, Chris.
Chris Fortuna, February 19, 2010
