Linda, I was so sorry to hear of your loss. It sounds like he was an amazing man and highly thought of. You have been in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Linda and Family:

I have very fond memories of Coach O'Leary as a patient and compassionate man who gave me the opportunity to play lacrosse at ND from 1974 to 1978. You were both so accomodating at the wonderful team gatherings you hosted at your home.

Linda and family....we both are so very sorry to hear of your loss.
The Irish Rover travel hockey days that our kids shared are some of our most precious memories. Rich was a dedicated husband and father who only wanted the best for all in all of his endeavors.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Linda and children~

We were so saddened to hear that Rich had passed away! We have such fond memories of Rich ... especially from the days of Irish Rover Travel Hockey when Dan and Brian were younger! Rich was a great guy and ALWAYS had a huge smile on his face. He will be missed by many!!!

May you feel God's presence around you at this sad time in your life - and know that others share your sorrow. God Bless you all.
