To all of Uncle Rich's children and family,
My deepest sympathy to all of you on his passing. I hope you find some comfort in remembering and celebrating his life. My memories of your Dad will always include the get-togethers at Uncle Bills house and of course the beautiful nursery he and Aunt Winnie had for so many years.
Love,
Kay
