    Dick was a great guy. I’ve known him since grade school and he always had a smile on his face when he would meet you.

    He will be missed very much.

    My prayers are with his family.

    May we always remember to make ourselves familiar with the angels and behold them frequently in spirit; for without being seen,they are present with you. Without a doubt my husband’s nephew always greeted all with a beautiful smile and great sense of humor. Forever family, #gigliottilovewinks

    Dickie was a great cousin and always nice to us younger family members. He always laughed and smiled! He and Rosemary were the most beautiful couple.

    Susan, I’m so sorry that you and your family are dealing with the loss of your second brother.

    I love you.

    Me. Pomponio was a great man. I remember playing “horse” basketball with him years ago. His famous line “just a little bank shot” rings in my ears whenever I think of him. I worked for him a couple of times and he was funny, caring and a very wise man. I learned some good things and I am forever grateful for having known him. I pray for peace for all of the family.

    I met Mr. Pomponio for the first time visiting him at his nursing home in Fairport N.Y. He is a man with great integrity and funny as well. I visited with his sister n Scott who invited to meet his dad. While We were there we sat and talked and the memories were real special. Rest in peace Mr. Pomponio we will always remember your smile and how you cared! Stay in peace! Love Rose and Scott.

    I am so sad to read this obituary. Dick and I worked closely with each other for seven years, at Wegmans! I was office mgr and he was store mgr. Whenever they transferred him to a different store, I followed! He was a very caring man, who loved his family, especially Rosemary, very much. The last time I spoke to him, Rosemary was in the nursing home. I have tried to call him again, many times. I didn’t know where he was!
    I will always have great memories of one of the funniest guys ever! RIP Dick

    Dick was a great friend to myself and my late husband, John Lyle. We had wonderful times together with he and Rosey…out for fish fry then the games for our boys and then out to celebrate the wins. We had many laughs and shared many adventures.
    My heartfelt thoughts to his beautiful family.

    I knew Dick from the time I was a kid. He would come over to Elm Street and hang out with our gang. Later, he rented an apartment from my father on Elm Street. My wife and I hung out with Dick and Rosemary after we were first married, going out to dinner and just getting together to chat. I’ll always remember Dick for his smile and his quick wit. RIP, my friend.
