Richard F. Houlihan, 1929-2008


My father, Richard Houlihan, was called home to the Lord on Saturday evening. Although our grief is deep, we are all secure in the knowledge that he is at peace in heaven, with no more suffering or pain. My father was a great man, full of laughter and life, and I don't think he ever met someone he didn't immediately like! He loved to tell stories - he was an Irishman through and through. (We even have a book we wrote, filled with Grandpa's favorite sayings and stories). My dad is survived by my mother, Margaret, 9 children and their spouses, 22 grandchildren, three brothers, 1 sister, and was predeacesed by three grandchildren (whom he now joins in heaven). Your prayers during his illness were greatly appreciated.
