To my younger brother Richard: Life does not always take us where we want to go. We don’t always get to know the people in our own family. Living miles apart with you in Florida and me in Tonawanda made it very hard to get to know you and to spend time with one another. The visits I made to Florida were very few. Most of the news about you came from Mom & Dad. I was glad when you got married and had two daughters. You were always fun to talk to when we did get together. You really liked your red PT cruiser and took me for a ride in it. You were happy then. I enjoyed the get together at Becky’s wedding and met your daughters. Life was not always easy for you especially with your heart problems, which I also shared in with my own heart issues. You were a very hard worker and worked at Walmart for a long time. I was proud of you when we visited you when you were a manager of the Produce Department. You were avery faithful husband to your wife Coleen and cared about her very much. I know you sold your PT Cruiser to help pay for her back surgery, which put you under some heavy debt and depression. I prayed often for you. Tough times and stress can cause a heavy toll on our lives. When you had that stroke I was so sad. I was so glad I was able to come down and visit with you in the nursing home. I was happy to celebrate your last birthday with your life here on earth. I am looking forward to celebrate many many more birthdays when I see you in heaven for all eternity. I have been singing this song to myself since you left. ” In the sweet bye and bye we will meet on that beautiful shore” I will miss you Richard till I see you again. your sister, Shirley

My brother Richard was a good,loving person who lived with us in Tonawanda, NY for a short time during 1961. During that time, Joe and I became very close to Richard and we will always be grateful that he was able to stay with us. He will be missed.

Like a ship in a bottle. He was confined in life. The strength I know he had, yet did not know how to use it. The love he held inside, but got lost on how to show it. When I think of that ship, I remember the younger days before the glass had formed. My softball games he would come to, weekends when he would take us to the park and the weird quirky dance that he did. After the stroke the glass had broken.It was the worst and best time. He was weak, but the strongest I had ever seen him. Struggling with only one side. There was your strength Dad! The happiness he showed when all of his sisters were there to see him. His smile and his eyes lit up when he saw Trina and I. There was your love Dad! As we were going through your things, I came across my softball bats from my games. You had held on to them after all these years. I know the love was always there Dad and I could only wish we had more time. Your glass has broken, yours sails are filled and you are at peace now. We love and miss you Dad!

Richard Morin was my brother. I am 11 years younger and although we never had much of an adult relationship because I moved to the other side of the country I distinctly remember glimpses of our child hood together. I was the pesty little sister who would sneak in his room and play with his space models that he loved to build from kits. One day as I was spinning a space station that he build, it broke.I quickly left the room dreading his home coming. When he did returned home and found it broken, all hell broke loose and I was in big trouble. Later when he got his driver’s license he bought a scooter to go to and from work. One night we got a phone call that he was in the hospital. What happened was it was raining and as he was going over the Melboune bridge he slipped on a fish someone had thrown on the road and he spun out and hit the pavement. There was a nurse right behind him to help until the ambulance came. He had dislocated his shoulder. I remember when his girl friend broke up with him and he cried and cried. Richard had a very tender heart but shortly after he met Colleen which he married. I wish I could of gotten to know him better because like all the Morins he had a very unique part to play in our family. Its family that brings us together this day and its family that creates bonds that no man can tear down. I love you Richard my brother rest in the Lord.
