Brother Richard's dedication to O'Hara over the years is one for the ages. His friendliness to the students and his collections of the multitude of school events are two images that come to mind. Never one to be idle, Richard was always busy with one project or another. I talked with him perhaps a year ago. Never one to focus on himself, he instead asked me questions about my family and what I was up to. I will always remember him with great fondness

I have many memories of Brothers Richard - his dry wit always made me smile. And he was always willing to help students. RIP Brother! You made a difference at Archbishop O´Hara High School. Thank you.
