Update from Feb. 24, 2022

Friends and Family,
Because the weather is and looks to be rainy and cold for tomorrow, after the memorial service, please head straight to Pacci's for the celebration of life (and skip the burial). It will be warm and dry there, and you can enjoy food and drinks and pictures and slide show of Dick, until we arrive. Thanks, and we look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
