My deepest sympathies to the entire Castillo family on the loss of your husband and father. I was a classmate of Rich’s at St. Joseph Grade School. I have many fond memories of the many kindnesses Mrs. Castillo extended to me while working as the school secretary. I will keep your family in my prayers.
