Richard Cummins Gannon

Rick, I can't believe that it's been almost a year since you left this world. I will always remember the good times that we had & all of the fun we had at Kenmore High. I'll always remember you & all of the things that we did & fun we had!

Well Rick, you'll finally get to meet my great husband "Ed", He just passed away 8/16/07. He was always a hunter & fishermen too.

In Memory of Dearest Richard:
For days I have been trying to find the words to express my feelings. There aren't enough, or "proper", words to express my heartfelt sympathy or love for him. All of us know he endured so much pain throughout his life, but he smiled and kept on going--thinking of the welfare of others. I would ask "how are you" and he would say "how you doin'?". That was always his attitude. When his Dad, my brother, died, he said he never dreamed he would go before him....
