Richard Rousseau Obituary

On Friday May 31, 2013 Richard Rousseau Jr., 48, died of a sudden heart attack. Rick was a loving father, husband, son, brother, and a most trusted friend. He was a force of creative energy in the Art Materials industry as a retail buyer, manager, and ultimately the owner and founder of the design and development firm Artist Hardware in Skokie IL. The void left in Rick's passing will be felt in the hearts of everyone that has ever had the pleasure of knowing him. Rick is survived by his mother, Kathleen, father Richard, sisters Karen and Sharon, wife Jennifer, and his children Henry, Ella, and Will. The family asks in lieu of flowers for donations to be sent to either your choice of Art Reach Chicago (a not for profit art community outreach program affiliated with Lillstreet Art Center) or to the Rousseau Children College Fund. You may contribute via PayPal at www.artisthardware.com/144933/memorial
