I fondly remember uncle Dick - although I didn't get to spend much time with him, I always looked forward to driving out to Woburn and staying with Rose and Dick. He always had a smile on his face and was the life of the party. His soul will be sorely missed.
Love to Rose, Dee Dee, Richie, Susan and families

Uncle Dick was always cheerful and full of life. I am so sorry to hear of his death and I wish I could be there to tell you all in person. He will definitely be missed and my prayers are with all of you.

To Rich and the entire Gorham family we offer these words of prayer during your time of grief:

Lord our God, the death of Richard recalls our human condition and the brevity of our lives on earth. But for those who believe in Your love, death is not the end, nor does it destroy the bonds that You forge in our lives. We share the faith of Your Son's disciples and the hope of the children of God. Bring the light of Christ's resurrection to this time of testing and pain as we pray for Richard and for those who love him, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Love the Donovan Family

In Loving Memory of Big Dick,Some one that I have always admired.Some one that i had always wanted too be like.He would always dance at the weddings,came too all the parties,telling jokes & always smiling.What a great family Uncle Dick & Aunt Rose, brought in to this world, Little Dick , DeDe & Sue.Always smiling,coming to the parties & dancing.The only time I ever saw Uncle Dick not smiling was up at the lodge in Barttlet,NH.it was 1975,Dick had brought his portable television so he & his brothers could watch the world series,The Redsox vs.The Reds. Us kids playing & running around, I knocked over the tv & broke the antenna, now it had no reception it only showed snow on the screen,Uncle Dick said we have sound & we can listen too the game as we had for many years not having television.I will always remember you Dick,I Love You.I lov u Rose,Sue,DeDe & lil Dick.my prayers are with you.your nephew & cousin ARG.

May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. May the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, May the Lord hold you in the palm of His hand.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Your friends always,
