Uncle Richie, my mom´s (Peggy) brother impressed me as a devoted son to my Grandmother (Rose). We did not see him much as our families grew, but I knew Uncle Richie took care of his brother, my Uncle Billy. I appreciate the occasional note and photo he sent of Uncle Billy.

Of the few times I did see Uncle Richie, he struck me as a man of few words. I will always remember his smile and bright blue eyes.

With sincere sympathy at the passing of your father, grandfather, brother, or friend,
Tricia Naylor
(oldest daughter of Peggy and Bill Rawley)
