I have fond memories of your dad from my days at the Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce in the 1980s. He was a member and chair of several committees, including the Small Business Council, and served on the board of directors while I worked there. He was a wonderful person and full of great ideas.

A beautiful tribute to Mr. Fab. He was an extraordinary father, and so dedicated to his family. I am very sorry for this great loss to you all. I cherish sweet memories of times with my "second family" the Fabs, years ago. Love & prayers for you all, Brenda Terry (aka " Hag" );)

I am saddened to learn of Dick´s passing. I have had the privilege of knowing 4 generations of the Fabiano family and they are wonderful people. Thank-you Dick for carrying on the Fabiano tradition. May God continue to bless the entire Fabiano family.
