MaryJo and family,

How can I even begin to convey the sadness in my heart to hear about Rich. Please let everyone know you all are in our thoughts. I have many happy memories of my "oldest brother"...as family and co-workers at So Hts. My brother, John Fraser, and sister, Jackie Gasbarra, send their thoughts also.

Dear Mary Jo and family, I was so very sorry to hear of Richard's passing. Mary Jo, we were so hopeful that he was improving last week. I think he held on for you but it was just time for him to rest. I know he was a great guy and remember always the good times. He should be peaceful now. Strength to you all. Sheila
