How you can help

In loving memory of Richard Crespo. He was often better known as knowledge. He was one of the most friendliest people you would ever meet. He would give anybody the shirt off his back if he could. Always willing and ready to see a smile on somebody's face with just a simple hello was his motto. My father will forever be missed by all of us. He leaves behind his living brothers Emanuel Crespo and Giovanni Crespo, Sisters Marisol Padilla, and Lissett Crespo. Nephews Anthony Sontos, Effren, Joseph Crespo and Isaiah Cres are Richard po Nieces Alexsandra Padilla, Emily Padilla, Isabel, Asia Crespo, Jasmine Crespo and His only Daughter Orquidea Laviolette and Son in-law Luidgi Laviolette. Richard was a very hard worker and worked at the Holiday Inn Express in Richmond Virginia where he recently resided. With today's rising cost of living and Essentials. It is very hard on the family right now financially have to accommodate for all of the funding regarding this funeral. The family asks for any donations at this current time of need. The family would like you to know that any thing helps at this current time and anything your heart desires to donate for Richard's Funeral is very very much appreciate it. The crystal family loves everyone and appreciates everyone who attends this time at which we celebrate Richard's life. Richard will forever be missed by many. His will to give and strive to fix his life before he passed isn't accomplishment at which not many get the chance to see. But we are proud to say that Richard actually lived out his dream to be all he could be for a moment in his life. May you forever rest in Paradise Richard Crespo better known as knowledge but to me you will always be Daddy I love you forever. Contribute   Right arrow
