Dear Marguerite and Amanda,

Therese and I were so sorry to hear the news of Rich's sudden passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time. Rich was a true man's man, and they just don't make them like that anymore. There was never a dull moment when we would get together with him. He was a live wire. He will be deeply missed in our hearts and in the neighborhood and at the card table.

All our love,
Mark and Therese Leahan (Sandy Hill)
