HEY, RICH, WE ALWAYS HAD GOOD TIMES WHEN YOU LIVED NEXT DOOR TO US.  YOU WERE THE BIG BROTHER I NEVER HAD.  YOU AND YOUR MOM VACATIONED WITH US AND WE HAD  A WONDERFUL TIME.  BOATING AND WATER SKIING AND JUST SITTING AROUND TELLING STORIES. 

WHEN YOU GOT OUT OF THE NAVY WHEN YOU WERE STATIONED IN HAWAII, YOU CAME BACK TO ROCKVILLE.  THE LURE OF THE BIG CITY GOT YOUR ATTENTION, AND YOU MOVED TO INDIANAPOLIS WHERE YOUR MOM AND DAD LIVED. 

YOU BROUGHT THIS GIRL NAMED JAN TO VISIT ALL OF US ROCKVILLE FOLKS AND THE NEXT THING WE KNEW, WE WERE ALL INVITED TO YOUR WEDDING IN INDIANAPOLIS. 

IT WAS SO NICE TO VISIT WITH YOU DURING THE 2009 REUNION.  I MET YOUR LOVELY WIFE. I CALLED YOU IN JUNE TO SEE IF YOU WERE ATTENDING THIS YEARS (2011) REUNION, AND YOU SAID YOU WERE NOT FEELING WELL. 

I BET YOU AND ALL THE CRAFTONS ARE HAVING THE BIGGEST REUNION OF ALL.  SEEING MOLLY AND ALL YOUR AUNTS AND UNCLES, MOM AND DAD AND JAN.  

REST IN PEACE, MY FRIEND.  SOME DAY YOU AND I WILL HAVE THE BEST REUNION OF ALL WITH ALL THE NEIGHBORHOOD GANG.  SOMEDAY......

I remember the good times we spent , you letting me drive your new olds, and making the neighborhood kids feel important. One thing don't save a place for me yet, I am not quite ready. Rest in peace friend

I remember you and your Mother vacationing with us at Lake Shafer.  You both were always so nice to Mary Catherine and me - all of the Craftons and Lindleys were.  I was too young to remember much when you lived at Molly Ellen's but I remember the cookouts in our back yard when we were older.  RIP
