Richard was a highly intelligent, energetic and a very likeable person who will be missed by all who knew him.
He grew up in Penn Wynne, PA (a town he was very attached to). He attended Penn Wynne Elementary School, middle schools in the district, Haverford High School Class of 1984 and Widener University. He also played Lacrosse while in school.
He enjoyed sports and rooted for all of the PHILLY TEAMS. He had a natural talent for WRITING as well. He designed and sold lamp shades that were featured in many hotels and places of business, for a commercial lamp company. Later, he also ran his own business.
He resided in the Lower Merion area and in South Florida.
Richard is survived by his Mother, Sister and Brother, 2 aunts, and uncle and many cousins. He was pre-deceased by his Father – Gaetan Ruggeri Jr.
Rich, remembering the happy times decorating our bicycles for the 4th of July Parade, playing Wiffle Ball in the street, the firehouse Halloween Party, Randy’s and more…
We love you and miss you, Rich
