So sorry to hear about Rich’s passing. Great news that he had a strong faith so we can say “all is well”. In reading his obituary here in South Bend this morning, I called my twin brother Tim and we were reminiscing about the times in our past up and through high school, when Rich,Foster,Fackson,Tim and myself were all best friends and certainly had each others back covered. He was someone all of us knew we could count on. He really was one of a kind. Great guy. That was a really nice picture of him in the paper. We all experienced an adventuristic, mischievous, definitely gutsy, bold and brave time filled with both fun and some fright, that’s putting it nicely and mildly. Amazing how I think we all turned out to be success stories in the end. Someone could have written a best seller about our escapades. I know this is a difficult time for the entire Grunden Family. I want you to know that those of us up here in Indiana will be including you in our Prayers. Sincerely and with respect, Tom and Diana Lykowski and Family
