Not sure what to say?

I don´t know who will see this after so much time, but I used to work for Richard. Helping with his art (. Tearing masking tape). And reading booked onto cassette that he would then listen to while painting. I have several of his paintings and have recently taken up watercolors. I loved his seascapes and smaller works. I am so sorry he is gone. I have such funny memories of him. I truly loved his work. Wish I could see it again. I am sorry to hear he is gone.

I didn´t know how to contact the family of Richard the artist before. I have two of his originals that I adore that my mother in Glenview purchased years ago. I now have them and wonder if your family would like them for sentimental reasons. They are beautiful. Money is not the reason. I would be happy to donate them to your family. Funny... I live in Hinsdale and have for 28 years. Text me at 630-776-0004 or email is [email protected]. Small world.

I've just bought Mr. Collopy's painting today and came across this site . My deepest condolences to the family . His soul sparkles trough his beautiful art forever...
