Rich Gauch family,

First I want to express our deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your father. He truly was one of a kind.

I was going to bring mom by tonight, but she was having a hard time accepting his passing. Her and dad had great times with your mom and dad. They enjoyed going to dances with them. Your dad and my dad were great dancers. I used to love dancing the polka with your dad!! Your mom and dad were so much fun to be around. I remember when they lived by the Angler's club. We used to walk down there and get sodas and chips. I think we are blessed to have such wonderful parents. Mom asked about your dad so many times, wondering if he was still at Memorial, I would tell her yes and she would remember things about when they used to run around together. That would always bring a smile to her face!!

I have moved in with mom. She was having health issues and I stayed with her awhile. I didn't like what I saw, so I gave up my apartment and moved in. I didn't realize my bedroom was so small!! But she needs me here and here is where I need to be.

Once again, please accept our sympathy, he was a great person.

I am saddened to learn of Richard's passing.I am at David's in Dexter MI or I would have come to the wake and funeral. Uncle Rich was a great fellow and Dee and I loved him very much. He is now at peace and joining Dorothy, his parents, brothers and sisters in God's beautiful Heaven.
God Bless you all and Peace in the name of Christ our Lord.
