Hey Dad your Birthday is coming up I miss you terribly. Pascy got engaged. I wish you were here to talk about all the excitement. I love you Dad. 🎂😞💔💎💎
Dear Allison,
Sam (Ebare) told me of the loss of Diamond. I am so sorry. He always made me (all of us) laugh and laugh. i always loved that he became my cousin when Frankie (Cali) and I married. We always managed to find him to party with ( not so hard) when we would come back to Syracuse. Those were the good old days when everyone was still around and we just laughed and took every day for granted. I can only say "I understand your loss" as you know and I am so sorry. Sam did not have your phone number at his fingertips, so I will try to contact Debra to get it. Much love to you. And God Speed "Cuz"... You are loved .... and say hi to my Frankie).

To Richard & The Entire Riccelli Family,
I’m sorry to hear of Diamond’s passing. I have very fond memories of Carmen, Fannie & the Riccelli Family while growing up in Eastwood. Diamond was “one of a kind”.
May He Rest In Peace.

I met Diamond & Richard many years ago when my Dad (Larry Welsh), and their Dad did business together. My Dad was produce buyer for A&P and he bought produce from Carmen. A friendship was started with both sets of parents and we spent time together when we were young and parents got together. Carmen & Fanney were great people . Diamond may you be with them now and Rest In Peace.🙏. God Bless the Ricilli family during this difficult time. Byrnie Welsh Schonhart
To my cousins Jackie and Carmen and the rest of the Riccelli family, I'm so sorry to hear about Diamond. You're all in my thoughts and prayers during this time of sadness. I will always remember Diamonds smiling eyes, goofy antics and living life in the moment. He truly knew how to live in the NOW moment, without fear and enjoyed every minute. A lesson we could all learn to do. He did it his way! With Love Always, Terry
To the Riccelli Family our deepest condolences to you all. I remember Diamond very well from my Dads restaurant Galuppis. I remember him just as you wrote he was always laughing and loving life! Who knows he may be stopping by to visit my Dad, Mom and Uncles Kenny and Phil at the Galuppis stop in Heaven. Its those cherished memories that help get us thru as time goes by. I still laugh out loud when I remember my family as you will also. Remember to cherish those memories, hold them close in you heart and Thank God you had such a wonderful person in your life. May God Bless you all and give you strength...

Dear Rich and entire Riccelli Family,
I am very sorry to hear of Diamond’s passing. Diamond was a great guy and I have many fond memories of him, going back to grammar school days at the Riccelli household. Will keep Diamond and the family in our prayers. Unfortunately can’t make the services as Ellie and I are in Florida.
