John OBrien lit a candle

“From Lynn and me who fondly remember Rick who we cared for in Newton, Ma for many years. A kind and quietly strong man who demonstrated his love for family first , then the masons, then everyone else. He will be long remembered and always loved by all his family. Condolences, Dr. OBrien and Lynn.”
