I worked w/ Richard (or Dick) Feffer for many years. He was a great teacher. I owe him for the success I have had in the furniture industry.


Would like to be informed of any memorial celebrations for him. Hopefully I will be able to attend.

My condolences to the Family

Richard was one of the world's greatest opera buffs. No performance was too far away to visit. Even in his 90s he would hop on planes for Finland or Iowa to attend both old and new operas. We will miss him greatly.
