Richard was my first cousin.I am Ellen(Lunney) Zeena. My mother was Anne Kochinskas, Uncle Joe's sister. Richie and I were close as "kids". I remember visiting uncle Joe and Auntie Vivian not only in Oxford, but when they lived on Cambridge St. in Worcester. Richie was great fun to be with. He was funny and silly and loved to get us into mischief. When we went to Catechism-Saturday mornings, we were in the same class. Oh, how the sisters loved him and Oh, how he made all the class laugh. If anyone seemed to be bothering me, he was my great protector. Fond memories!
Love to Jean and all of the family. I have you in my prayers.

It is a shame that many families tend to drift apart during the years.My mother was Adele (Kochinskas) Degnis, Richard's aunt and the sister of Joseph. I can still remember visiting my uncle Joe and aunt Vivian when they lived in Oxford. My prayers are with you and yours.

Gloria, Dennis, John,& Steven,
Our deepest sympathy's to your family during this time. Koko was like a second Dad to me everytime I walked in the garage he had some kind of comment to make. He was always kidding with me and he had no problem expessing his disappointment when I messed up. He had a incredible talent working with wood and building his boats, we enjoyed the time we went up to the Masonic Home and got to check out the Trains with him. He will truely be missed, he was a great man!.
