    Really devastated to hear this. Richard, Molly, Jim and Joan were a viable part of our lives when we were younger and in high school. At the O’loughlin’s, we were always invited to a warm meal almost every night. Richard was one of those guys that one just gravitated to, and you never knew why. We’d often listen to Molly play the piano or Richard his guitar, only to be interrupted by the parrot. I can still hear Joan telling that parrot to shush and Richard oblivious to it all. Great times. Going to miss Richard, as he was quite the character. We loved that whole family. Molly, our prayers are with you. May God hold you in His palms.
