| Obituary:
Born in Brooklyn, New York on May 20th 1942, Richard Edmund LaMotta is best known as "Mr. Chipwich", the inventor of the original Chipwich, the ice cream cookie sandwich. He worked hard his whole life, attending the prestigious Brooklyn Tech High School, and Brooklyn College and NY Law School at night over many years while working jobs at AT&T and CBS. Chipwich Chippoppity, a cookie candy, came out of the Chipwich brand and at its second release functioned in conjunction with MyStudentBiz, a business which allowed students to earn money, scholarships, and own a part of the company. His goal was to pass on the entrepreneurship skills he had learned, by mentoring students and helping anyone who asked for his advice. He created companies that would help people, like his current company, The MD System, an all-natural pain relief system, which will continue on.
