Not sure what to say?

Nancy, I'm so sorry to hear. And of all things a glio. You know that's what Bonnie died of in 2018 after 9 years. Can still remember fondly all of us, with Bonnie 6 months pregnant, climbing over the Kretchemer to watch "Where the Boys Are" and, of course, your wedding. Dick was such a great predecessor and inspiration for me in college as Chairman of the Southeastern Province of the National Newman Club Federation. You are in my prayers.

To the O'Brien Family...I am so sorry to hear of Dick's passing. I worked with Dick on many committees and the board of MDG. He was a great president and leader. His hard work brought MDG to the fine organization serving the Medical Device Industry it is today. He will be missed by many...Joyce College
