RICHARD SALOMAN Obituary

SALOMAN, Richard Stevens Of Sharon, MA, entered into rest on Tuesday, October 8, 2019, at the age of 67. Loving son of the late Abraham and Esther (Goldner) Saloman. Beloved husband of Joni (Trushin) Saloman. Devoted father of Syd Saloman and Randi Saloman. Loving brother of Ronald Saloman and his wife Sybil, Josef Saloman and his wife Susan, Charles Saloman and his late wife Michelle, Berta Ann Greenblatt and her husband Gordon and the late Ruth Dorfman. Born in Brookline. The youngest of six children, he attended the Devotion School and Shaw Preparatory high school. Immediately thereafter, he apprenticed with a master jeweler, learning how to design, fabricate, and repair jewelry—ultimately becoming a master jeweler himself. He and Joni, his wife of 47 years, built a thriving jewelry business in Sharon, where the couple raised their two children. He was an avid motorcyclist, an ingenious problem solver, and a fixer of anything. He was devoted to his cats, Pebbles and Rex, and before them Karma. His children and his wife consider him the greatest blessing of their lives. Funeral Services will be held at the Stanetsky Memorial Chapel, 475 Washington St., CANTON, MA on Friday, October 11th at 12 Noon, with Burial to follow at Newton Cemetery, 791 Walnut Street, Newton, MA. Memorial observance will be on Sunday, October 13th from 10AM to 7PM at Four Points Sheraton, Route 1, Norwood. In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy in his memory may be made to the Wounded Warriors Project at woundedwarriorproject.org/donate Stanetsky Memorial Chapel www.stanetskycanton.com

Joni,
I was looking up Richard's address so that I could send something to him for repair. I was shocked to read his obituary.

I remember when we were at Nantasket in 1969 and he arrived for a visit with his Porsche.

I know that this is a great loss for you, your children and your families. You have my sympathies and wishes.

Barry was in Sharon today and heard of Richard's passing. There are no words to tell you how shocked and saddened we were on hearing the news. We were so fortunate to have had him as our jeweler and you as well over a lot of years of doing business with you both. We will never forget how upset we were when we heard you were moving to Florida then how happy we were to hear you were coming back to Sharon. Our deepest sympathy to you and your children. We are just at a loss for words right now.
You are in our thoughts and prayers. Margo and Barry Clayman
