Richard Velez Memorial Fund

Donation protected
I write this to all of you with a sadden heart, and disbelief that on Friday March 22nd, 2019 our Colleague and Friend Richard Velez passed away due to a long battle with health issues. Richard 59; was a Marine, a Jets fan, and a honorable Father. He leaves behind a loving 22 year old daughter Alexandrea Velez who will be graduating in May. One of his last wishes was that he could make it to his daughters graduation. I would look at him “Every day and say Rich we are going to make it, and whatever I can do to help let me know”. I just wanted him to stay positive and keep fighting ya know. I never thought in a quick three weeks things would take a turn for the worst. With that said I feel like I owe it to him to make sure his daughter still gets that chance to walk across that stage and flourish in life like Rich wanted her to. If you can do anything to help Ms. Velez with the funeral expenses please make a donation so we can help out the family.
