I saw this quite by accident. I was looking for Richard Connell 1. who was my father Robert' s older brother & my uncle.
I was saddened to read this. Richard 11 was a first cousin and I saw him & Sara, his son Ricky, at the time & Patricia at a few family gatherings at Virg Connells. He was just a boy. I was much older.
His father was closer to my brothers age, Robert T.Connell, Jr.
Robbi died in Korea.
The photo...of father & son...i thought the son looked very much like his father did as a boy.
Over the years tried to contact Sara & Patricia, but lost contact.
Just made me remember a saying of my father's...." No, I'm not a Know It All ..but whatever I don't know, my brother does" We are all dog lovers.
My sincerest condolences to his entire family.

I am so sorry to learn of Rick's passing. He was an all-around great guy from coaching soccer to fixing our cars. So many of our friends have passed including Dan in 2010. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

My dad took me fishing in Florida when I was a child. We caught a big fish and I cried because it was in pain. My father comforted me. As soon as I stopped crying I fed the fish to a nearby pelican. Love you dad

Growing up his prized possession, besides family, was the Camero! We always had so much fun at car shows and just cruising around.
