    Dear Family of Brother Richard McFeely I am so sorry for your loss. Brother Richard was of great service and comfort to the parishioners of Most Holy Redeemer Church in East Boston at the time I lived there. I saw first hand how he was able to comfort those in need. He had a special way to talk to people and to let them know that he, along with Jesus were with them in their time of need. The greatest times at the Holy Redeemer where when Brother Richard, Father Michael Duffy, and Brother Bob were all there at the same time. They brought a spirit of love and understanding to our community when we needed it most. Brother Richard is now in the comforting arms of our Savior Jesus Christ, his journey here on Earth completed. Many of us here in East Boston will never forget him. May he rest in peace.
