Dear Richard,

I was deeply sorry to hear of your loss. I have fond memories of sharing many a drink with your father and his gumbas on Friday nights at Patricca's. He was great fun and it was a pleasure to have known him.

Lynnette and I wish to extend our belated condolences to you and your family.

Mr. Belcastro, I spent many days by your house, eating, watching TV and just talking to you and your wife. You will be missed by all.
