"Uncle Rich" was a childhood fixture for me and my sisters. Really more an uncle than our actual relatives. I look back on all the happy times celebrating birthdays, confirmations, graduations, holidays, etc. and am so thankful to have lived on Webster Lane with such wonderful neighbors/friends/"family". Uncle Rich, you will be missed, but your lasting presence will be felt in the love and humor you have shared with all of us during a life well lived. God bless you, Aunt Nancy, Diane, Mike, and Tiffany.

Grandpa, I love you so much. You were such a great man and I hope that I work as hard as you did and live by the values that you instilled in me. I will always remember our times together and I will never forget. Have fun watching over your family and laughing with our jokes. We will miss you.
