Harriette, Terry and Danny, Uncle Dick was admired and respected by you and others. Death leaves a heartache no can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. Words seem inadequate to express the sadness I feel.
As I reflect over my uncles life from childhood to adhulthood, the one thing that really stuck out to me was his faith. So to encourage the next generation to continue in the faith let us not forget John 3:16: For God so loved the World that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but gain eternal life. One day soon, we hope to all be together and rejoice forever in eternity
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the O'Brien family for your loss.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Harriette, Terry, and Dan. Uncle Ricky was a great man and meant alot to me and my children. He was the BEST! He will be GREATLY missed by all of us. Please know that we love you all. Jen, Mike, Danielle and Willi
Our deepest sympathy goes out to you, we are with you in spirit.
Dear Harriette and family, What a pleasure for me to have known Dick as a friend and neighbor as well as fellow church member at St. Agnes. Always ready for a visit whether it was a minute or an hour. The visits always started with "Hey, how you doing Pal." In these difficult times we can take solace in the fact that his suffering has been completed and that he has attained his eternal rest. We can take comfort in that. Yes, he will be missed !!! My sincere condolances — Dan Stack
