Richard was a character that always made us smile. His stories were well told and always animated! He would come into BookWorm Cafe in the Oak Lawn Library every afternoon unless he was "working" at the VA hospital. We were terribly sorry to hear of his passing as we didn't know he was so ill. We'll miss him greatly.
Nancy & Andy, Julie, Katie from the BookWorm Cafe.

I know Mr. Forkin from the Oak Lawn Public Library. He was great patron and user of the library. Mr. Forkin attended my genealogy classes and many other computer classes. I enjoyed talking with him. May he rest in peace.
