SCOUTMASTER RICHARD GUNDACKER RETIRES

For the last 23 years; our Boy Scout Troop 37 has been led by the legendary Richard Gundacker. There will be a changing of the guard this July at the conclusion of summer camp as "Mr. G", as he is affectionately known steps down and hands over the Scoutmasters mantle to Michael DiTrani, currently an Assistant Scoutmaster who has served both Pack and Troop 37 for many years. "Mr. G's" influence has spread far and wide across the Island, where he has led the most active Catholic sponsored troop in our community and has inspired countless numbers of young men to strive for and achieve the rank of Eagle Scout, Scouting's highest award. In his retirement letter to Father O'Hara and the entire Troop 37 family, Richie says it best:

"My greatest satisfaction were the young men in the troop that I have worked with, entering the Troop as ten year olds and leaving years later to enter our society as well shaped men.... We have lawyers, policemen, firemen, FBI agents, military personnel, engineers, fathers, husbands, an elected official and a priest! We are so proud of them all!"

Richie, we are very proud of you, because you have been a part of the life of this parish and have positively impacted on the lives of young men in an extraordinary way. While you're stepping down, we're glad you'll still be around and a part of the family.
May God abundantly bless you, your wife Mary and your entire family. And know, from the depths of our hearts, that you mean so much to us!
