OMG. I can’t believe it. This is terrible news Katherine! I hope you are doing OK. RJ and I attended Williams, I was class of 76. We had not known each other before. I had graduated from Nichols in 1972 and lived in Orchard Park. RJ and I actually spent most of our time in the locker room. He was a swimmer, I was a wrestler, but we got along famously, and he indeed was just an all round nice guy and liked by everyone! EVERYONE. I just can’t believe he’s gone. I think the last time I saw him was in Canada at Thunder Bay at a Tom Leous (?Sp? )alum sponsored get together in 1976. Unlike me, it appears he really made an impact in his life, whereas my medical career as an orthopedic surgeon crashed and burned.Take care.
