To Richards Family:
My family was very dear friends of your grandparents Dick and Jean. My Mom was especially close friends with Jean. My memories of Richard was his laughter and great sense of humor. I use to talk with Richard at the dances and he was always so fun loving. What a great guy. My heartfelt sympathy to the whole family knowing it is a great loss.

Kim, Andrea and Eddy:
We were sorry to hear about your Dad from Nick. It's true that your Dad loved many things - - old cars, antiques, the Phillies, movies, dogs, pretzels, ring bologna, as well as many other people and things that passed through his life. But he loved no person, or thing, as much as he loved the three of you!
