Roy T. Richter, was found dead at McDowell Park in Ardsley, NY (not in his home, as the media has reported), last Tuesday, October 3rd, the traditional feast of Saint Therese. He was a New York City cop’s cop who became an attorney and continued to support the police force and assist the city he loved his entire life.
I knew him, since we had a shared aunt on opposite sides of the family. He was a unique and beautiful soul. I am deeply sad. He has left behind a wife, 3 daughters, and a 99 year-old father, who is a former NYPD high level officer, also named Roy Richter. His funeral Mass and burial is today.
Whatever you can do during this Month of the Holy Rosary, I implore you to pray for his soul and his family.
