It is with heavy heart that we report the loss of Past Commander, Rich Monahan, USMC. Rich was an active member of our Post for 21 years, and presided as Commander from 2011-2018, the longest tenure of all our commanders. His leadership was no nonsense, forthright, intelligent, visionary, and compassionate. He brought a joy to our club with his Irish wit and generosity, and when the music was swinging, his feet were moving. We pray for Rich and his family, and thank Rich for his lifetime of service to our Post, community, and country. God speed, Commander.
