In Loving Memory of Richard "Herby" Esposito: Help Us Honor His Vibrant Legacy. Dear friends, family, coworkers, and community. With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our dear friend and coworker, Richard "Herby" Esposito, who was found to have passed away peacefully at his home on August 19, 2025. Born on January 24, 1954, Herby fought courageously against COPD, asthma, and chronic congestive heart failure, leaving behind a legacy of laughter, boldness, and unforgettable spirit. Herby was a force of nature at Nicaretta Construction, where he worked with dedication for many years before spending the rest of his career as a superintendent. Known for his sharp humor, outspoken nature, and larger-than-life attitude, Herby lit up every job site and left a lasting impression on everyone he met. He wasn’t just a colleague—he was a friend who brought joy and energy to every moment, always ready with a quick joke or a bold opinion.With no family to claim him, I Joseph Santana have stepped forward, alongside my father-in-law, Michael "The Jooch" Giampaglia, to ensure Herby receives the dignified farewell he deserves.
