Richard J. Bading

Hello Mary Pat. My sympathy to you and your family. I remember going to your house to play when we were at St Lud’s.
Your dad had quite a life. His life in the service put him at many of WWII’s most significant moments. I’m sure his love for reading and traveling fed your curiosity, too. Take care. ❤

I fondly remember Richard, Mima,Tommy and MaryPat from my childhood neighborhood. Mama was well liked for her kool-aid popsicle. It's been a long time but hope you remember, the Hauks , the Fredericksons and Mrs.Brumback.

As a young boy i always remember uncle richard as a quite man who never once raised his voice to us he was so kind and gentle growing up i wanted everthing but the talks i had with him i think helped me turn to the path im on thank you so very much for being you a wonderful caring and truly human rest in peace my you and aunt mima have many more adventures in heaven my love forever and always

So sorry to read of your Dad's passing, Tom. We shared many stories and laughs when we spoke at Ironworkers get togethers and other Labor functions. Just know, Ma, is sending condolences your way.
