To Barb, family and friends,

Please accept my sincerest condolences for Dick's passing.

I am so glad I was able to see Dick during my visit to MA several years ago. I hadn't been back to MA since my parents, me and my siblings moved to California in the early 1950s.

Love and prayers,

Patsy Dorenzo (nee Spagnolo)

To Richards Family,

Sorry to hear Richard passed away. I can still remember all the times we played together on Baskin Lane and Godek Street in Adams. All the good times we had at St. Stans.......seems like only yesterday.

You are all in my prayers.

I met Dick when I was only 12 years old. He was working for my mom and dad at Casey's Mart. Needless to say that he was 20 at the time and I had the biggest crush on him. He sent me a message when my mom passed away 2006. It was so nice to reconnect. I contacted him and we shared some memories. I told him about my crush and he told me that he knew about it and how my sister would tease me.
It was so nice to send messages and remember some of the people from the past. It turns out that your granddaughter graduated with our daughter Sylvia. So that meant we attend Wahconah's graduation at the same time. Not seeing each other in 60 years I don't think we would have recognized each other.
I told him that my husband was his age and our daughter would tell us she had friends who had grandparents our age. We got a chuckle out of that.
I just want to say how sorry I am for his passing. It sounds like he had a wonderful life and I'm sure he will be missed. Please accept my condolences and hope all of you keep his memory alive.

I has the pleasure of knowing Dick while working at Hit or Miss with him and his family. He was also on the company bowling team and was a great bowler. God Bless Dick and his family.
