Marie and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I have such fond memories of Rich and his family from his involvement in the YMI. If I remember correctly, he was even one of Santa's "helpers" at our Christmas parties when I was a young child. He was a good friend to my father and used to come over the house all the time to pick him up for meetings. I'm sorry to hear of his passing... my dad died almost a year ago to this day. I'm sure Rich has already met up with him in heaven and they are both now smiling down upon us all.

Dear Marie,
We first met at St. Anselm's YLI 50 years ago. Seems like yesterday. Frank and I are so sorry with the passing of your kind Richard. Our prayers are with you.

Dear Paula and Family
On behalf of all of the Odetto's, we send our deepest sympathy. Your Dad was a great man and I remember sharing many funny stories with him. I will always remember our school days and all of the car pool sharing and visiting after school. Best Wishes, Tom and Rachel Odetto

My deepest sympathies to the Bettencourt family for their loss. Had some memorable moments during our deliveries at the San Anselmo Post Office in 1979-81 on our route in the Hollow. Angelo [email protected] in Czech Republic for now.

Marie and Family, I was very sorry to read of Richard's passing, such a nice man and so devoted to the YMI, sometimes when I was at Keaton's it seemed he was at as many funerals as us, and I remember him trying to get Bob Stack and other guys to come to the meetings. He was persistant. Deepest sympathy to all.

To all of the Bettencourt Family,
We will miss the wonderful stories from Richard about the important role he played in the history of WWII. At such a young age he made a huge difference. We are so sorry for your loss..
Love, Bill and Eileen and family
