Thinking of Mr & Mrs Monacelli and their generousity...this pic is of Richie setting up their backyard the night before my first wedding, which he and Grace hosted. His hands are covered with mud...but as always, he's laughing!

Thinking of Richie today - his family's first Father's Day without him. He loved his kids so much! He was one of the world's greatest dads.
Happy Father's Day, Mr. M.
Love, Karen

Richard A. Monacelli, Sr. - A man who touched so many lives; who shared his family and his love with everyone who knew him. Richie and Grace watched over the Bradley kids and even took a few of us in when we needed a place to live. The minute I walked in their home, I felt overwhelmed with the sincere love he and his wonderful family showered upon me. The loving, giving, generous children you and Grace raised are a tribute to you two. We miss you so much, Richie, and are ever grateful for having you in our lives. God Bless you and your dear family. Love, Cindy and Joe
