Arthur Richards

Artie was so outstanding as a wonderful person and physician that he is certainly remembered often. Nancy Starr `58

I knew Art when he was a fellow at the University of Rochester. He was a warm and lovely human being. Please accept my condolences.

Cathy I just recently found out about your husband's passing and just wanted you to know how much I respected him and the work he did. You don't know me, but I worked on 5 Main at fort Hamilton Hospital and had the pleasure of working with him and assisting him in procedures and talking to patients in difficult situations for over 20 years. He did wonderful caring work .

Cathy and family,
I was told yesterday that Artie was gone. I would have come, had I known. He was great to work with, and a wonderful, caring physician!!!! I still miss him, and my thoughts are with you all!

I did not know of Dr Richards death. I was just trying to locate him to thank him for saving my life. This year will be my 30th year cancer free because of him. I wanted to let him know I was still here and have enjoyed the best years of my life, which I would never even have had without his care and treatment. Non hogkins lymphoma was not and is not an easy fix, especially 30 years ago. Thank you Dr Richards, and his family-be even more proud!

May you find the courage to face tomorrow in the love that surrounds you today.

I will remember him as a phenomenally compassionate and yet humor-filled oncologist, one who truly walked alongside all of his patients in their times of need, me included. I recently was able to visit the Western Wall of the Temple in Jerusalem, and it brought to mind the many stories Dr. Richards and I shared about faith, which will remain some of my fondest memories.
We will pray for the repose of his soul, and for strength for the entire family as you deal with the absence of his...

My heart goes out to the family. I worked with Dr. Richards and he was so easy to work for. He will be missed.

Cathy and family, my deepest sympathy for the loss of your beloved husband and Father. God bless you all in your time of sorrow. Lori Smith
