We have such fond memories of cousin Rich growing up nearby a mile away on Maryann Drive in Worcester. Playing basketball with Rich and my brother, Eddie in the driveway. Visiting his parents, Uncle George who was my Godfather and Aunt Kurt. The fun conversations, and cookouts, and visiting when he moved to the condo in Holden with Aunt Kurt. Lovely memories of his wedding with Nancy, and keeping up on the phone during the year. As the OB said, he always had such a "kind way", easy to talk to, chat about anything. Love and Prayers to Nancy. God rest his soul. May Rich's memory be eternal.

Nancy - I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Death leaves a heartache
no one can heal;
Love leaves a memory
no one can steal.
