Quick Life Update....

[Richie O]

Hello all! So quick life update, my sisters and I have changed our last name to O’Leary to honor our step-dad who’s been in our lives for a very long time and made us who we are today. Long overdue.

Going forward my legal name will now be Richie O’Leary!

 

[Crazed_RU]

Well that's not an update I expected today :)

 

[RUforester72]

Very nice way to thank him. Good for you!

 

[RUPete]

Pretty cool and a great tribute! And yes, I wasn't expecting that either. 😃

 

[RU#1fan]

Top of the morning to you.

 

[MadRU]

Do you get a bump in stars?

 

[Saint Puppy]

Great gesture - happy for all involved!

Any excuse to feel free to get loaded on St Patrick's Day.

Seriously, that was an outstanding way to honor the man. I'm sure that was the greatest gift you could ever have given him.

Congrats on becoming Irish! :)

Nice. Good for you. My dad took his step dads name and it’s the name I have today.

[MADHAT1]

Nice gesture showing the love you have for him

 

[RUDiddy777]

As someone with a son without my chromosomes, this is a really beautiful gesture and the highlight of my day.

And congrats on now being able to participate in St Patty’s day - I’m certainly sure you’ve abstained until becoming Irish.

Richard- this is something amazing. As a stepdad myself- that is something beautiful. I wouldn't expect it from my step kids as their Mom actually made a decision at birth, to give them their father's last name even though they weren't married.
But it is so great to know you had someone come into your family and really make such and impact for all of you- you are blessed that your Mom got it right and he is blessed to have kids that "became" his own.

and I have changed our last name to O’Leary

So wait a minute.........do you now have an ancestor who's responsible for starting the Great Chicago Fire?

 

[WhichReligionIsRight]

I like the alliteration with the name change. Congrats to you and your family.

No but I am technically now related to former UCF HC George O'Leary I was told.

That was going to be my next question. That's cool. And very cool move for you and your sisters to honor your step dad.

Story just took a sharp turn downward...sorry lol

 

[patk89]

Perfect timing with St Pat's in a few weeks. Family is much more than simply genes. Great honor to him.

Just don't buy a cow and you'll be alright.
Maybe stay away from milk while you're at it

 

[RutHut]

Richie OH!

 

[LETSGORU91]

I think you should invite us all to your house to celebrate for St. Patty's Day Mr. O'Leary!! Congrats!!!

 

[LETSGORU91]

It's so annoying when someone starts an OT thread and doesnt put "OT" on the title.
(Just kidding)

 

[RU_Coming_Along]

Way cool. I'm sure your stepdad is touched by this and is proud of you all.

 

[Richie O]

He's like a third cousin, so no worries haha!

South Amboy does throw one hell of a parade and this year it is on St. Patty's Day.....

 

[Richie O]

I will indeed be making the trek, first time I'm going in about 5-6 years.

 

[thegock]

Top of the morning to you.

 

[RU from Jersey]

Stay out of the sun now that you are Irish.

 

[LeapinLou]

I will indeed be making the trek, first time I'm going in about 5-6 years.

I have a friend who lives near D'Jais. We start out at his house and then walk along Lake Como to Main Street. The forecasted high is 58 degrees. Hopefully, the rain clears out by morning and we'll have a great day.

 

[yesrutgers01]

Take what you have learned from this man, who is your "Dad" and carry it for life.
I had the opposite as a kid- lost our Mom early and when my Dad remarried- she made Cinderella's Step Mom seem nice.

I learned from that, and not only with my birth sons but my step sons, always made sure they had someone who they could come to for anything but also how to respect and have confidence.

Go to Scranton's on the 9th

 

[colbert17]

I thought the big announcement might be that you no longer would be wearing your cap backwards.

When I saw this thread, my first thought was that Richie was talking about the Quick Life Bowl.

Yeah, I know there is no such thing. My first thoughts are not always clear.
