To the Family of Richard Golitko, Please accept our sincere sympathy for your most profound loss. My husband, Lou, and I went to Garfield High School with Richard. He was quiet in his demeanor and approachable enjoying the extracurricular activities that brought him the most satisfaction. We enjoyed knowing him and are happy he had a wonderful family and a good life. May you feel his spirit within you and may the memories you have shared together bring a smile to your face.
