Heidi and Holly, So sorry for the loss of your Dad. I have many fond memories of him and our days as kids. I can picture him smiling at us while we played in the playhouse, in your pool, in the screenhouse, at Red Wings games and on many great trips in the motorhome! I will always cherish those wonderful times we shared.
Love,
Kathy DePalma :)

Caroline and I are now living in Florida and will not be able to attend. There are many memories of fishing and travel with Rich. There are also many patients, adults and children in Antigua and Rochester, who are much healthier due to his efforts.
