CHICAGO (CBS) -- On Tuesday, friends and family laid to rest a 14-year-old boy killed when a car crashed into a restaurant in Hinsdale.

Sean Richards was hit by a Jeep outside Fontano's subs last week. He died four days later.

Mourners lined up to pay their respects to Richards during a visitation Monday afternoon.

All around town, columns and trees have been decorated with green ribbons in the boy's memory.

In his obituary, Richard's parents remembered him as "a gentle soul with a unique understanding of kindness and friendship."

Meanwhile, the three people hurt the Jeep plowed into the sub shop have filed a new lawsuit.

They are suing the family of the 16-year-old police say was behind the wheel, and the carwash he was working at while driving the vehicle.

They allege the teen driver acted recklessly and did not have proper training.
