Richard Dunn's Obituary

Richard always seem so quiet in our class I hardly knew he was there. However, his family and friends really loved him. This obituary says a lot about the person he was. Did he come to one of our class reunions? I vaguely remember someone who came and I was totally surprised at how nice he looked and what a super person he was.
