CHARLOTTESVILLE (WINA) – The brother of a renowned local restauranteur killed in a car crash earlier in the week in Albemarle County has set up a GoFundMe page. Brett Richey has made the page to provide long-term education and welfare for Wilson Richey’s two young children. The page was created Thursday with a goal of $10,000 and had just after noon Friday raised nearly 16,000.

Riley writes, “the loss of Wilson has impacted our family beyond words, and the ability of any donations to alleviate the long-term financial stress associated with providing for his children is deeply appreciated by our family.”
