Just ran across a wonderful photo of Mr. Fiscella. He was my favorite customer when I worked at the Palos Heights Chase bank. I figured I would look him up to see if he was still around putting smiles on people's faces. Just wanted you all to know that thinking about him and holding his memory in my heart still puts a smile on my face. I know a lot about him, he always told everyone his stories. Especially about his family and even more so about Eleanor. He loved her so much. And all of you. You were all so fortunate to spend time with such a wonderful man, I know I was...and our time together was always short...well, short for him. His stories always did take a few hours!! LOL. I can hear him singing now. And oh! He sure could dance! Wish you all the best.

I got a chance to work with Dick when I first started as an accountant. He really taught me a lot. He was a great guy and Joanne and I will miss him.

Rich and I worked together for close to 30 years. He was the accountant for the company I worked for. What a good man he was! He was fun-loving - loved to sing and tell silly jokes. I missed him when he retired. He always spoke so highly of his family. He loved Eleanor very much and was so proud of his kids and grandkids. He was also very proud of his military service. He was a man of great faith and I'm sure he's singing in heaven's choir today!

Carol,Rick,Paul, Gail and Bob- So sad to hear of "the Colonel's " passing. He always chuckled when I called him that but he knew it was with great respect. My brothers and I all have fond memories of your dad growing up across the street from you on Tripp in Oak Lawn.He was a member of the Greatest Generation and will be sorely missed. My deepest condolences to all of you.

We will never forget all of the great times we had from playing pinochle with a group to our many trips in Ireland and the United States. People may leave us but the memories live forever.

Dick was my first boss at Fidelity Answering Service. He always liked to tease me that I was successful in my career because of that experience. He was right! Mario and I will miss him...he was a special person.
