Richard and Kathy Nerone enjoyed spending time traveling and sitting poolside and “occasionally” rolling dice in Atlantic City. They cherished special friendships and always were happy to share a great homemade meal with any and all that wanted it or sometimes needed it. Richard was an avid reader, enjoyed talking politics and was always up for some friendly banter. His true passion was his “kids”. Even during his final moments he spoke of each of their accomplishments, goals and dreams with a special, passionate and unique love for all of them.
