We all have great memories of Ann and Red and the fun times they had with “Club”. My deepest condolences for your loss and regret for not being in RI to attend the wake and funeral. Red and Ann live on in the memories of all of us.
Will never forget the time spent on the boat fishing with my dad and Red. Great weekends at Westport. Thanks for everything!
Eleanor and Ann,
Nice memories of our trip to Florida. Red always smiling and having fun on the beach and playing cards at night.
Then for the Labor Day party at Tiverton, Red would be the first down the hill with the biggest tray of stuffies He was always smiling.
God Bless, go in Peace
Many great stories and memories of “the club”. Red would always chauffeur us back and forth to the beautiful beach at Westport where we’d check out the scene with his binoculars. Red was always happy, easy going and had the best laugh. My sincere condolences to all.
Eleanor and Ann
