I met Richard in 1983 when I was living in Brooklyn, NY. However, I was raised in Queens though he always called me "Brooklyn".

We sold our Cold Spring Harbor home where Richard lived next door to his parents for 53 years after his Dad passed away in 2000 & moved to Central PA.

In PA, some people would ask our names & of course, mine was always "Brooklyn", not Phyllis!

Richard loved living in PA and we became very active with Habitat for Humanity & I am going to continue with this organization in 2014. He was their supervisor & swung the hammer; I take the photos and make scrapbooks. We were a team in every sense of the word.

Although I miss Suffolk County, our friends & my sisters; I feel that Richard looks over me every day when he sends the Bunnies to check in on me. You see, Richard didn't like the Bunnies as they ate his beautiful wildflowers!
