Only God can give full credit to Dick for his dedicated life, whether as an inspired seminarian and ardently serving Catholic priest of the Arch-diocese of Hartford for quite a few years, or as a loving husband of Maureen and a caring father and grandfather of his beloved family. I was happy to have been one of the three priests celebrating his wedding, and one of his and Maureen's friends over the past 30 years. May our Lord Jesus welcome him to the eternal happy company of all His good & faithful servants.

I met Richard through Fr. Henry and enjoyed lunches with him at Sans Souci every couple weeks. Condolences to Maureen and his family. He had a life full of love and good works. May he reap the rewards of the “good and faithful servant”. And may his family find comfort in their faith and their friends!
