Richard (Nono) was my grandfather, although his loss feels like that of a parent.
My favorite thing about him is that everyone who knew him or knew of him absolutely loved him and had nothing but the nicest things to say. That shows how amazing he was for 79 years.
I wanted to thank everyone who sent a card or virtual letter. It means the world to my family and I.

Dear Adele, Dickie & Joey,
I am so sorry to have heard of your dads passing. A few times I’d bump into him at the bank and we’d have a chit chat. He always asked how Margaret was doing.
One funny thing I remember as a kid
Nona Maria would be chasing him through her kitchen.
Love to all.
