The Mother Lode is mourning the unexpected loss of a colorful, beloved personality whose life literally touched thousands.
Two weeks ago, while teaching his music classes at Foothill Leadership Academy, and that weekend, while turning in what turned out to be his last public performance, singing and playing bass with his mates in the Black Irish Band he co-founded at Sonora’s Celtic Faire, Richard Restivo, 64, seemed to be recovering from a respiratory infection of some sort. However, shortly afterwards a respiratory flare up took him back to the hospital where doctors uncovered a more serious lung ailment. On Friday evening he died peacefully, surrounded by his wife, Cynthia, daughters Lizzy and Maria, 26 and 23, and son Dominick, 17.
