Paul and Sue: As I looked at your father's pictures playing in his band,
smiles on his face with his family, I was happy for him - 88 years young,
loving wife of 65 yrs, a wonderful
family, fought for our country, and brought joy to everyone with his
music. You were a wonderful daughter and son-in-law, cherish
your memories and the love you
shared. You are in our prayers during this difficult time. God Bless.

Dick Creeden played at my wedding in November 1965 at the Village Green. He was a great friend to my parents Rose and Bill Toomey of Salvatore Circle in Danvers. He now plays with the angels in the good company of many our parents who went before him and now welcome him "home".
