I only knew Richard through the marriage of his lovely daughter Lori to my stepson Erik which was the finest thing that ever happened to him. I have enjoyed being a part of the family and the company of all the other children. The yearly family gatherings at Raynham were always a pleasant and fun day. May you rest in peace knowing you did a fine job with the whole family, your friend Parker.

I am so sorry to see that your father has passed away. Although I did not know him, I knew your mother, Agnes. My mother, Mary Finn Peters was your mother's Godmother. Your grandmother, Rita, and my mother were best friends. Rita introduced my mother to her cousin, Joseph Peters in 1937. The rest is history - they married in 1942 and celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 1992. My sympathy to your during this difficult time.
