Richard J. Paskiewicz

Hi Carol and Tracy, The recent success of the UConn football, women´s and men´s basketball teams reminds me of how much Rich loved the Huskies. As I do.

He was such a good and decent man. God bless you both. All the best to you for a pleasant holiday season. Guy

Sending my condolences to Rich´s family. He was in Vernon when I was there. He was such a good person. I appreciate the opportunity he gave me to learn from him and grow as an administrator. God bless you all. Patti Buell

A fond farewell to my college big brother who established a place in my heart forever!! Frank Amara

Our deepest condolences Dave and Sharon Pulcini
