John Coolidge "Jack" Richards

So sorry to hear of Dr. Richard´s passing. He treated me after a horrible car accident in California. He had the Best bedside manner anyone would want in their Dr. . His staff at St Clair´s Hospital were equally wonderful to me! He continued to look after me for my injuries for years to come as well as other orthopedic conditions that arose. The world lost a great Dr. when he retired and a Great man when he passed. May God Bless his Family and Friends left behind.

I just found John's obituary he was a wonderful warm kind loving doctor I used to take care of his mother Carly and she was just as sweet as he was prayers going out to the family but you should be happy to know that he was loved by everybody he met.

To a talented, funny, and very special man who was loved by ALL. Our condolences and love to you Carol. Garry and Connie

Carol & Family, We are so sorry to hear of Jack´s passing. Wishing you all comfort in the days ahead.

We are so very sad to learn of Jack´s passing. They just don´t come any better or nicer then Jack Richards! We have both known him for so many years both professionally and as a friend. I remember when Jack visited Tom´s mother, Margaret Messitt, when she was in the hospital. She had been his music teacher at Central Park Junior High. Jack was always one her favorites. He walked into the room and they both started singing something from The Pirates of Penzance. Jack had been the star...

I am sad to see this. It was just a short time ago that some of us from the Paradise Coastman chorus visited and sang with him. It was always good to talk and sing with him. Peace and blessings to all. James Stark

Dr. Richards was a wonderful and dedicated doctor. His understanding and humor will always be remembered. In this time of sadness be comforted in knowing that this wonderful man made a difference in the lives of many people.

Dear Carol children and grandchildren. I want to offer my deepest sympathy at this sad time. Jack was wonderful to my dad and myself. He was a caring compassionate man and MD. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers

I worked for and with Dr. Richard´s at Schenectady Orthopaedics for many years. He was a very kind and dedicated doctor, employer and friend. When I made a mistake with his transcription, he didn´t just cross it out and correct it with a red pen, he took the time to come to me, explain the word, error , so I understood. My sincere condolences to his family and loved ones. He will be missed!
