  1. Cindy, I am deeply sorry to read of your father\’s passing. You may remember me from Blue Cross – but more importantly my sister Alice worked with your dad at SNET. Alice thought very highly of your dad and of you. She passed away 2 years ago very quickly. They shared many good times at SNET and now together in Heaven. Hope you are well. Peace, Al Mignone

  2. Dick was always a gentleman, generous and knew how to treat a lady… He used to drive all the way from Hamden to Torrington to see me. I thought his big fun was trap shooting and bridge. We celebrated my 50th birthday at the Yankee Pedlar Inn in Torrington; he assured me life would be better after turning 50. We drank a champagne toast to life. A very charming, sweet man who made me feel good about myself. I was glad to have met him and pleased he was part of my life. We had some fun times! Dick was most proud of his family and spoke highly of his children. My condolences to his son, David and family. I\’m glad to have known Dick.
