Family Tributes 

Rich, 

I remember when we met, through my friend who was your ex-girlfriend, who introduced us. I had no interest in dating you, but you were persistent and I fell madly in love with you. You were exactly who I’d been waiting for. Now after 41 years of marriage, and 2 children later, I love you more than I ever imagined I could love anyone. I love you very very much. I love you,

- M. 

Brother,

We were not only brothers but best friends also. I will miss you for the rest of my life. You were the best brother I could ask for. The worst thing about living is dying. 

Your loving brother, Jerry 

Daddy,

I had you for 34 amazing and wonderful years. I will miss our wine dates and buying you your scotch. You had a way of lighting up the room with your smile and your jokes. You could make any hard situation easy because of your smile. I will miss you teaching me how to fix stuff and working on things together. I will forever be your princess and baby girl. 

Love always, Daddy’s girl Courtney 

Dad,

You are my hero. My idol. My confidant. My consigliere. My best, best friend. You are the greatest father than anyone could ask for. You cherished your family more than life itself. I remember you worked the midnight shift, voluntarily, just to be able to watch me play hockey. That thought alone will stick with me forever. Please know, we will all be okay and we will take care of each other. You did such a great job of raising your family. I will miss your non-stop humor and dad type jokes. I’ll miss sitting on the front porch with you sharing sometimes no conversation at all. Your gestures meant enough. You always comforted me no matter my situation. I’ll still be coming to you and I know you’ll be listening. If you’re allowed or able, how about a sign, for my personal comfort, from time to time, pops? I’ll love you forever and forever. You’ll be in my heart and in my mind. I love you, dad. ’Til we meet again. Please watch over me and all of us. 

- Richard
