Then & Now

These pictures of Dennis and Jimmy were taken in November of 1976. Jimmy was almost 6 and Dennis was 7 years old.


As you know, my brothers were always having a good time and making everyone around them laugh. The next photo is their retake of the above shot obviously many, many years later. Check out Jimmy's helmet. I believe it is the same one from '76.

These pictures are so great, what great memories in each and every picture that has been shown. Look at how cute they are.

Two brothers that laughed, played, tought, loved, respected and enjoyed so much of each others company.

Dennis and Jimmy are truly bonded brothers forever, they loved each other so much from childhood to adulthood. We are all so proud of both of you.

What MEN what INCREDIBLE MEN you BOTH are.

We all love you both so much.

Love (cousin) Rhonda

This may be my favorite picture ever. They never knew life w/out eachother and there's a bond that goes deeper than typical brothers.
I miss Dennis so much and I miss the two of them off to the side laughing at God knows what~usually us and talking work, friends, sports.
Things are just painfully different.

Looks like both helmets are the same from back in '76. These pictures truly capture the two of them as brothers and best friends, always side by side.

Wow, I almost fainted when I saw these pictures. They're from 1976 when we were playing Pop Warner in East Boston. I swear the entire Rich family was on the "Dolphins" and me and my cousin Tommy were on the "Cowboys". One thing I do remember was how fast Dennis was eventhough he was usually the smallest one on the field. Awesome, the pictures bring back some memories that I thought were lost. Thank you.
