Longtime Little Silver resident Richard Fuschetti passed away on April 11, his wife and children by his side. He was 83.

“Richard loved people, he loved talking, telling stories, and just plain enjoying everyone around him …
“He loved two things: fishing and the game of golf …

“One of his greatest joys were his seven grandchildren; he took so much pride in all of their accomplishments.”
