I was at the ice castles on Sat Feb 15 and found a funeral card for Richard in the parking lot. I'd like to return it to the person who lost it. I live in Acton, MA, you can find me on facebook. If you send your address, I'll pop it in the mail to you.

My deepest condolences to the family and their friends. My family will say a prayer for the soul of your dad/papa/husband/friend.

So sorry to learn of the passing of Richard. Although I did not know him that well, I met the Hayes family through my friendship with Bill Hayes and his family. Keeping you all, especially his sons, Gregory and Ryan, their families and their mother Kathy, in my thoughts and prayers.
