In loving memory of My cousin Richard Horvath. 1955 - 2008.

Tradgedy has struck here at Eddie's Railfan Page.
Today, at 1:55 AM , My Cousin Richard Horvath passed away at Christ Hospital
in southwest suburban Oak Lawn Illinois from massive injuries recieved from
a hit and run accident. My Cousin Richard was believed to be riding home from his
3rd shift job in Bedford Park Illinois on His bicycle, when he was hit and run by a speeding
motorist in Burbank Illinois. His sudden and untimely passing caught all of his
family and friends off guard. I was just talking to him last week on the telephone.

Richard was an avid photographer,he enjoyed cooking, and was a big fan of the
1960's Brittish Invasion pop music group The Beatles. While He enjoyed all
of the members of The Beatles, He was mainly a fan of John Lennon. ( 1940-1980.)
Richard also enjoyed the Rolling Stones, Led Zeplin and several other Rock
and Roll music acts from the 1960's and 70's.

Richard was more than just a Cousin to Me.
He was also a best friend and an older Brother figure as well.

While not a Railfan himself, My cousin Richard grew up in Chicago's Ashburn
neighborhood just south of Hayford Junction. He lived one block east of the
Grand Trunk Western Railroad mainline on West 80th Place near South Saint Louis
Avenue, on Chicago's southwest side near the Ford City Shopping Center.

Although Richard was never married, He leaves behind a Brother, several Family
members and friends. His sense of humor and loving heart will be greatly missed.

Rest in peace Rich.

Thank You for all those happy memorys growing up with You.

Eddie K.
