Man. I can't believe you have been gone 4 years. It seems just like yesterday we were at Tombstone listening to the juke box. I miss you a lot this year especially. We lost Uncle Danny a couple months ago and I just feel like all the people I grew up with are gone now. My Chicago family was my real true family. I learned a lot from you and Bomba from all the summers I stayed with you. Thank you for walking me down the aisle when my dad couldnt be there... Look at me talking to you like you are still here. I miss writing you letters. I tried to do that often after Bomba died. And you took the time to even write me back. I have a special place in my heart for you. I call you Richard, but you were absolutely my grandpa. I will forever miss you and I think of you and Bomba nearly every single day of my life.

I am going to miss the exciting and perfect story telling of your life like I heard in Michigan City the year we rented that big home and you visited. You will make a wonderful angel - I guarantee it.
