RIP Richard Martin – Bay Ridge
On September 28th, there was a serious fire on the corner of 91st Street and 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge (above Little Cupcake Bakeshop).
Richard Martin was badly burned and his lungs suffered from the smoke.
For four weeks, Richie was in the burn unit at Staten Island University Hospital.
Today, Richie died. He was 89-years-old. He’s with God, his dog, Lucky and his cat Speedy, who died in the fire. Richie is no longer in pain.
Many people in Bay Ridge know Richie because they stopped and talked with him on the Avenue.
Richie’s wake will be at McLaughlin Funeral Home at 9620 – 3rd Avenue on Thursday, October 30th, 2025 from 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm.
The mass will be at St. Patrick’s Church at 9511 – 4th Avenue on Friday, October 31st, 2025 at 9:30 am
RIP Richie
