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.

Dear Joni,
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

Joni, I just saw..I'm at a loss for words. I'm so very sorry. I just started calling him Richie instead of Mr. S. OMG! My heart is breaking for you all. And everyone who has ever had the pleasure to know the both of you.

I am so so very sad to hear of Richards passing. He was always a welcoming smile and a great baker too! Since I have moved to Sharon he has been my jewelry guy and willing to help out in a pinch. I always have fond memories of him. He will be sorely missed in this town and in my heart. Sending hugs to Joni and their children.

So sorry, Joni and family. For all the years we lived in Sharon, you and Richie were my go-to people to buy Gifts, remake jewelry -he was a master at his craft-and have wonderful Conversations about small town life, the trouble you had with your backyard at your house, his beautiful and symbolic bench in memory if his parents, and enjoy delicious bake goods! I will miss him!
