Please keep in your thoughts and prayers, Molly Mysliwiec ‘09, whose grandfather, Richard “Dick” Mysliwiec, passed away last week, November 13, 2009. Dick was a lifetime resident of Grand Rapids who worked as a financial planner for Ameriprise and co-owner of the Berlin Raceway, where he served as a promoter and ran with his brothers for 50 years. Dick was quarterback for Grand Rapids Catholic Central when they won their first state championship in 1943.

Eternal Rest grant unto Dick, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.

 Thank you for your prayers and support. God bless you. Peace, Mary
