I am sad to hear of RIchards passing. I worked side by side whith Richard for 13 years. Our group at the Sketch Box, Mitch, Louie, Marcia and Mrs. Joyce Boswell were a very close knit group. As all our lives moved in different ways we all have fond memories to remember; a time in our lives of growing up a little more.
I have good memories of Richard.

Richard was my friendly competitor in the world of custom picture framing. Even before I closed up my shop, he hired me on the spot. In my world we would say he was a “real mensch”. He loved his wife, daughter, son-in-law and his two grandsons. I loved working with Richard. Rest in heaven but, let God know you do ALL the custom framing for him!!!
