Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceRichard and I were exactly one year apart in age as we both shared March (as our birthdays, he in 1952 and I in 1953. Richard was a great guy, played many games with him RIP Richard
All the O'Briens wish to give condolences to the family on this sad occurrence. Richard was a good man from the old school. My memories of him usually include Leslie and JT, as they were so often together. One Saturday afternoon I was on 9th street; they were riding around in a station wagon and found my runaway shitzu dog - twice. We all 4 enjoyed it. Now, they are all reunited. RIP Richard,
Mike OB
