I knew Richard from St. Anne school. We were in many of the same classes. I lost contact when we went to different high schools. I would have liked to re-establish contact with him or any other "class of 1953" graduated. Again sorry to hear of your loss.

Dear Gunilla,
I am so sorry for your loss. Dick was my manager at Akorn. I could not have asked for a better manager.He truly enjoyed life. I always enjoyed his visits. He was a wonderful gentleman, teacher and friend. My heart is deeply saddened yet I am so happy that I had the opportunity to know Dick.
With deepest sympathy,

Gunilla:
I was lucky to have worked for Dick at Akorn. He was a Great boss, teacher and most importantly a friend.
I wish you and your family peace and strength.

"Ferls" is one heck of a guy. I knew him mainly from playing both with and against him on the tennis court. In the last few years we went to Red Sox spring training games. He loved to joke and clown around so everybody including himself would have a healthy laugh.
But he had other talents too.
I'll tell you "Ferls" made one heck of a fish chowder, which was a tradition on Labor Day at the Bronson's. You just had to come back for seconds. The fish had to be striped bass...

Gunilla,
Richard and I graduated from HPHS together. We also grew up together - I was a friend of Evelyn - and Richard, Ray Veilleux, Vicky and my brother Tommy Juneau were all friends.
My sympathy to you and your family,
(and the Girard family).
