Rest in Peace, Dick. My condolences to his extended family. His brother, John married my sister, Irene in July, 1947. Dick, age 15, (I was 12)
played the accordion at the wedding in our home. It was a full house with Olcese, Krafcheck and friends in attendance. That may have been the first time Dick played the accordion for a large audience.
