Richard was a man of diverse passions and talents. An avid lifelong coin collector, he had a knack for counting more than just change. Complicated math problems, poker, and anything associated with numbers were his forte, making him the go-to guy for splitting the bill at dinner. Not to mention his steadfast commitment to in-person banking and paying with cash whenever possible. A die-hard Star Trek fan, Rich wanted to leave you with a poignant quote from The Next Generation, Season 1, Episode 23 - “The Skin of Evil”: “Death is that state in which one exists only in the memory of others, which is why it is not an end. No goodbyes. Just good memories.” Your thoughts, laughter, and support during this time are deeply appreciated, just as Richard would have wanted. Remember him with a smile, a joke, and maybe even a friendly poker game in his honor. So far, So good. Richard found joy in the simplicity of fishing and cherished moments with family and friends. He was a proud patriarch; besides his wife he is survived by his children Rachel Sorrentino of Saugus, Ronald Italiano and his wife Kristin (Olson) of Algonquin IL, daughter in law Kerry (Donohue) Italiano of Saugus, eight grandchildren; Alessandra, Joseph and Anthony Sorrentino; Julia, Stephen and Jack Italiano; Kristina and Katelyn Italiano; and 1 great-grandson – Zahtar Santos, the newest member of the family. Richard was predeceased by his son: Richard Italiano Jr. and his brothers: Robert Italiano and Ronald Italiano. Relatives, friends, and the ROMEOs are invited to attend visiting hours at the Bisbee-Porcella Funeral Home, 549 Lincoln Ave., Saugus, on Monday January 15 from 4-7 p.m. A funeral service will be held from the funeral home on Tuesday at 9 a.m. followed by a funeral mass at St. Margaret’s Church at 10 a.m. Interment to follow at Holy Cross Cemetery, Malden. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations in Richard’s memory, which may be made to the Dana-Faber Cancer Institute. Richard would appreciate the gesture, especially if it involves a clever math equation, a poker chip, or a coin. ~ Legal Notice ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Essex Probate and Family Court 36 Federal Street Salem, MA 01970 Docket No. ES23D1335DR DIVORCE SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION AND MAILING Grace Y.
