RICHARD KARCH Obituary
Richard Karch (age 75)
Passed away on September 27, 2015 from cardiac disease. Born in Akron, OH, Richard earned a B.S. from Case Western Reserve and a M.S. in mathematics from Yale. He was an accomplished pianist who could often be heard "playing that song" in Madam's Organ Bar. He enjoyed studying the stock market and was forever searching for the elusive indicator of future performance. He is survived by his sisters Barbara and Josephine and by numerous friends who appreciated his unique personality. A memorial service will be held at Madam's Organ on November 15 at 5 p.m.

I remember my Uncle Dick spending at least an hour with me as a child looking for a 4 leaf clover at the farm in Ohio. He assured me they were magic. His piano playing was amazing, he would sit down at the piano and just play a beautiful piece that he had composed.

You were unique, one-of-a-kind. Very early this morning a friend called to say that you were gone. He remembered you, too, and knew that I would want to know. I feel both sad and happy. Sad because I know that there is no chance any more of randomly running into you but I am happy because you made it through this life in your own special way. Victorious. I know that I am better for having known you.
