My deepest sympathy to Gail, Yvonne and all the family on the passing of your beloved husband, brother, dad, granddad and friend. I graduated from St. Francis in Dick's class (lived on Grafton St.) and have seen him through the years at alumni gatherings. It was at an alumni lunch last Sunday that I learned he had passed to his heavenly reward. God rest him and may all of you be comforted as you grieve his loss. We will see him again; he will never forget you. We will not forget this wonderful man with a great smile. Rest in peace, Dick!
