    Dear Louise and Nancy, I am out of town but heard the news about Dick. Our hearts are with you both, and our prayers also. May it give comfort to know he is with ‘his boy’ now and no doubt adding to the beautiful music in Heaven. I am sure there is quite a celebration going on, and Dick is at the forefront with his music, with nothing to slow him down any longer. We love you and will see you soon, Love, Mary

    Dear Nancy and family, I am so very sorry about the loss of your beloved husband and Dad and extend deepest sympathy. I will always remember Dick’s warmth and delight when talking about music. We had that in common. My husband, Vinny, always mentioned him when returning from the coffee shop. Thinking of you, Edie Bonferraro
