Richard and i lost our mom at a very young age. He was 6 and i was 2. Our maternal grandmother raised us to be very loving and caring people. Richard was my brother, my best friend, and a father figure. Our father came to see us as much as he could but it wasn't the same. we missed him alot. We both went to St John's Roman Catholic Grade School in Uniontown PA and then on to Geibel. Richard graduated in 1989 then went on to the Clarissa School of fashion Design in Pittsburgh PA
