My condolences go out to my godmother and my two cousins on the loss of their loving husband and father. Uncle Dick was a good man. It has been 6 years since I have seen my uncle, and I really wish that I could have seen him once more before his passing. It was not to be. A family of my own, time, and geography has kept us apart. However, as I sit here and type, I am reminiscent of earlier times spent with Uncle Dick. From fishing and clamming along the islands, to family dinners, to going out to see the "QEII" at night with my cousins, to trips to Mystic on an extremely rainy day, to his crushing handshakes that he would give me when we shook hands; I will have fond memories of my godfather, Uncle Dick. I will miss him dearly....
