James Jabbour lit a candle

“In loving memory of Richard J Walsh III. I had the privilege of working with Richard Dick Walsh as an inspector with the CSAO in Rocky Hill. We all know in this field there are those humorous times and the serious ones as well. He and I made great partners as we were always thinking ahead and thought alike too. I am remembering our funny times with many "clients" and some of the very serious ones. My thoughts and prayers to Peggy and their family. Dick, May your memory be eternal.”
