Dear Family of Richard Pate,
I went to school with Richard, and we graduated Dickinson High School together, in 1955. I remember him being quiet, polite, sweet, and a very good dresser. I could not attend the 48th class reunion, but friends were kind enough to email me pictures of everyone who did attend, and I must add that Richie was one of few males who aged very well, like a fine wine.
Please take consolation in the fact that he is now at peace, resting in the arms of God. I will never forget the date of his passing, as February 11th was my 71st birthday. Please accept my sincerest sympathies.
Kathleen Reilly (Texas)
