<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'>Thank you for your email. Dick was at my house on Christmas
and taking me through the website. We always joked that I like to
scrapbook and have albums of pictures of people while he has photo albums of
gravesites. I knew I had to contact the organization.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'>Dick was the healthiest member of our family so this was such a
surprise. He was a runner since he was 15 years old, ate right, never
smoked, rarely had a drink, just took such great care of his body. His
wife Barbara said he came down with the flu Monday afternoon, 12/31, and felt
the same Tuesday. Around 4 a.m. Wednesday morning he got up from bed and
fell but was coherent. She called 911 and he was coherent in the
ambulance. He died in the ER. Because his lab results were very odd
(no white cells, no ability for the blood to clot) his body was sent to the
Boston medical examiner. His body has been returned but the results are
pending. We have a history of heart attacks in our family so in some ways
I’m glad they are checking. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'>The wake is Thursday, January 10, from 2-4 and 6-8 at Aubertine
Funeral Home in New Bedford; if there is anyone you think would like to have
this information, please pass it along. Because he preferred cremation,
there won’t be a funeral but will be a luncheon and memory sharing on Friday,
time TBA. I can also get that information if anyone is interested. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'>Even as I cry as I write this email, I am thinking of my brother’s
interests. And I realize that 100 years from now he is going to want
someone to be able to trace our line back to him. I don’t know what
Barbara is planning to do with his ashes; she may choose to keep them. I
want to add his name and dates to the family stone in Rockland with my parents
and paternal grandmother. Do you think this would be right?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

genealogy efforts, I will probably be inheriting all his work. If you
ever need to reach me, my address is Jeanne Cianciola, 81 Old Town Way,
Hanover, MA 02339. My sister in law is Barbara Thompson, 2 Royal way,
South Dartmouth, MA 02748.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
