Dear Aunt Tiny and Cousins Holubowicz,

Our deepest sympathy for our loss of Uncle Richy. Lots of great memories of laughter, playing cards, and of course, the politics of our times.
I think of Uncle Richy every time the concealed carry law is debated and will always remember his dedication to civil justice in an unfair world.
Our Love and prayers extend to you all as I tear up in our these thoughts.

To Mrs. H, Rick, Terry, Steve, Tom, Jon and all their families we send our heartfelt sympathy. Our families grew up together. Whether it was baseball games, Camp Run-a-muck ; ), playing cards, picnics, family events like graduations, weddings, births, parties....the list goes on. It is with those warm memories that we will always keep close in our hearts. Though we are far in proximity and wish we could be there this weekend, our love, prayers and thoughts are with you all.

My sincere condolences to Richards's family and friends. I had the pleasure of working for Richard when he was a lieutenant back in the 80's. He was a fair minded and kind man who cared for his "troops", always willing to help and assist his fellow officers. I recall how he always proudly talked about his kids and how they were doing. I'm sure he'll be missed.
