Richard A. Via

August 29, 2008
Richard Via, my wife Beth Via's uncle, was a truly remarkable man whom I am glad to have known. His life touched so many others in such positive ways. He had a varied and full life, and he put all of his energy into it, often in the most unconventional ways. I will miss interacting with him, but know that his spirit lives on in his frends.

Been thinking about Richard and some other friends I haven't seen in many years so I Googled Richard and was saddened to read of his recent death. He was a gentleman of the "old school". I didn't know him really well but did enjoy his company often when visiting a friend in Palm Springs. I'm happy to see he had a long life....and a very interesting one. We should all be so lucky.
