Makes me cry a year later to read all these tributes to Dick. We loved him so much....he can never be replaced! Denise and her family will always be welcome at our house....she means as much to us as he did! I thought of some wonderful, joyful times we spent together, and it makes me smile at the thought. However, it makes me cry when I think that he will never visit us again. We miss you, Dick, and we'll watch over your family forever!
Love Shirley

Denise, my deepest sympathy to you and the entire Pasquale family in the sudden and tragic loss of your Dickie. He was such a dear teenage boy as we were all growing up in Braintree - a wonderful smile. I am so glad I had a chance to chat with you both at our 40th reunion. Yesterday as Dickie's memorial service was taking place, I was at my church singing at our annual choir retreat. As I sang some poignant and beautiful music, my tears flowed for I was sending my prayers to Dickie and all of you. Your dear husband will be missed by so many people.

Dear Denise, I am so sorry for your loss. Although I have long been out of touch with you I remember you as a dear friend at BHS. My prayers are with you. My husband Richard Thompson graduated in 63 and he remembers Dickie very well. Deepest Sympathy from us both.

Dear Denise,
I am so sorry for your loss. I'm not sure if you remember me but I
grew up with you on Bradford Road.
Before I moved to Bradford Road, I
lived on Holden Road and lived right next door to Dickie. My parents were close to Pamp. I lost
my husband almost 2 years ago.
My thoughts & prayers are with you.

Dick, you were the staple of our neighborhood and you will be missed dearly. It doesn't make sense that we won't see you riding your bike through the neighborhood counting the houses for sale. Deepest blessings to you and your family.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Dickie's passing. We grew up together in Braintree and Dickie made me feel part of the Holden St gang even though I lived several streets over. I hadn't seen Dickie in years but I enjoyed reading his comments in the Rusty Tomahawk news letter and the pictures at the different reunions and birthday party. Denise, my deepest sympathy, I can't begin to imagine your lost. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Dickie, we miss you something awful. Still in shock and disbelief, where we'll likely remain for quite a while. (and...no, I am NOT taking you off my speed-dial list.) Love you so much! as always - we'll miss you so much, for always.

I was so saddened to hear of Dickie's passing. I first met Dickie in Kindergaten at the Ross school.All the years that I knew him,through grammer school,junior high and High school he was always upbeat and fun to be around.And of course will never forget how he entertained us all with his magic show at one of our reunions. Denise, I recently lost my wife and understand the ordeal you are going through and wish you well in getting through this most difficult time.

Totally shocked upon hearing that Dickie passed away, words cannot express how saddened I am. Knowing Dickie since the 7th grade, I was blessed to have him as a friend, the King of magic. I'm sorry, Denise, for your loss as Dickie loved you so much. We all will miss him and his passion.

I didn't see much of Dickie after high school, but I do remember him as a positive, loving human being...I wish his family who will miss him forever all the best. Men like Dickie don't come along very often, and he has left an indelible mark for good on those of us who had the good fortune of knowing him...even if only briefly.

I am at an absolute loss as to what to say. When I read the message from the Keeper of the Class info I was upset to say the least. Shouldn't we at least have a chance to get old. With the vitality of Dick we wonder how such a vibrant personality can be snatched away so suddenly.
I extend to Denise and to the whole family my deepest and heartfelt sympathies.
Words and mourning won't bring him back so all we can do is say good bye to a wonderful spirit.
