Memorial website in the memory of your loved one

This memorial website was created in the memory for our loved one, Richard M. Grauvogl who was born in DePere WI. on October 20, 1974 and passed away on August 06, 2006 at the age of 31. He will never be forgotten and will on forever in everyone he touched hearts forever..On August 6, 2006 Rich (Shorty) as most of his friends knew him, was walking home and was struck by a vehicle and killed by a Hit & Run driver. The driver left the scene and still walks free today. There is NO day that goes by his family and friends don't  pray for justice. Rich was always on the move nothing ever held him back from living for the moment. Whoever he met, he made a friend. He was very outgoing and knew how to make everyone laugh. He enjoyed fishing, spending time up north and just having a good time. As said previously he lived for the moment very few people do that with their life's. He had the wonderful gift of being an artist with talent to draw and tattoo. He took such pride in his artwork. Many of us walk today with one of his tattoo's on us. (We wear his work with such pride as we did the first day we got it.) He will never be forgotten and forever in hearts. He cared for everyone as he was cared for. He is so missed. Not a day passes he is not thought about or remembered or spoke of. May the angels above care for him and help him find peace.  Here we will find justice for him and find the coward who took his life from us.  You will be loved always and forever!!  

2011 will be 5 years August 6.. Still no answers!! How do you walk amoung us and live with yourself??

His legacy
PAIN  

Pain
by Malcolm Coleman

The anguish I feel
tears at my soul
Life at times
is so cripplingly bad
there is hatred everywhere
cruel lives attack those
who live for the joy
of simply living.
their lives are destroyed
in a blink of time
with acts of such horror
and unthoughtful malice
that to think of them
makes the stoutest heart shudder
and the strongest man cry
A life so awful
cannot be born alone
in solitude
with only thoughts
to pass the time
it must be shared
or worse will follow
as slowly
remorselessly
days become darker
nights become longer
more oppressive
heavy on the mind
weighing down on hope
suppressing it
crushing it
until it dies
and when that happens
life dies too
