Richard Malek

Mr. Malek and my dad, Francis, taught for at least 30 years together at LHS. In the early 80's, when I was a student at Western New England, they would invite me to Nationality nights at the Elks, where I got to know Richard better and really enjoyed his company. I live in NC now but I remember fondly those times back in Chicopee. I am sorry I never had the chance to meet Mrs. Malek, but please know your husband is still loved and missed!

Loving thoughts in memory of RICHARD R. MALEK on his birthday, AUGUST 29, 1938 from his wife DIANE Malek
