We have so many wonderful memories of Dick and Mary. We went to a Yankee game with them. I had to fly home from college to be one of their bridesmaids. Their house in Plandome. They were such dear cousins.

Richard/Rich/Dick’s life and memory will be a blessing to many. I’m grateful that he moved his family to Memphis in the early 80s which led me to meeting my closest friend (daughter #4). Once you are part of the Zemann crew, you know what the love and acceptance of family truly means. He will be missed.
