Richard's passing brings back fond memories of us walking to St. Al's grammar school as our mom's watched us cross Oakley Blvd. We served mass at St.Al's & sang latin in the choir. Rich & I after the military would run into each other at the local coffee shops near Norridge. One could always have an interesting talk about various world events. Through the years our life's paths varied but we would meet at various family events and send our Christmas wishes. Once again our paths have strayed but this time he will be with his maker who took back this special mold. May you rest in peace with our Lord.
