As one "czeschy" to another, I believe Richard and I may have graduated from Wilson High School in the class of 1954 and if not around that time. At any rate, I remember him from our high school years and wish to extend my sincere condolences to his family. My memories of Dick are of a very pleasant and sometimes "funny" guy and his my prayers for his soul to rest in peace are for you all. Most sincerely,

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Your dad was one of my first foreman at Harnischfeger. He was patient, kind and a good man to work with.
