I remember Uncle Dick always made the funniest comments in room, which encouraged everyone to roll with laughter. I remember his stingray corvette and the way he used to throw Patrick up on his shoulders. My favorite was the Christmas photo of that pose with Patrick´s head squarely on top of Dicks. It read something like: Patrick on Right, Dick on left !
Patrick and Jennifer and kids: I´m so very sorry for your loss and I wish you peace and for lots of fond memories to flood your hearts at this time. Mallory

My prayers and sympathy for Dick and his family. Our twelve years at Marquette and Kelley, to say nothing of the half-block between the Sloan and Sullivan homes, brings fond memories. God bless all of you. Jack Sullivan
