RICHARD A. COOMBS

I once owned an Italian racing bike that I wanted to try and sell on this newfangled thing called "EBay." I sought Rich´s help in this new venture. He helped me describe, package and ship it to its proud new owner - in Tokyo! We both shared a good laugh over this unexpected, extraordinary occurrence. What an exceptional man and truly good human being this man was. He and his business - a reflection of his overall goodness - will be sorely missed.

Richard fitted me for bikes and repaired my bikes for many, many years. He was always such a pleasure to be around. He always was upbeat and brought joy. He was just a wonderful man. My heart breaks to learn of the family's and community's loss. We will all miss you, Rich.

Such a wonderful man. I will miss him greatly. I always enjoyed my visits to the shop and talking bicycles and life with Richie. Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss.

For over 35-years Rich was so wonderful as he helped keep my bikes and our biking world happy and I am so sad we will no longer see his wonderful smile in our community. His calm demeanor however lives large in the remarkable staff at Community Bicycle. Thank you, Rich

Thank you for your service to our country, and your community Sir. Job well done and it´s now time to Rest In Peace. May God Bless You and your family. ~Salute~ VFW Post 1012, Medford, MA
