Richard was my "car mechanic" for about 40 years. It all started with a VW as it did many others. I always liked Richard for his honesty and ability to fix my various cars that I brought to him over the years. I also enjoyed the my visits when they happened early in the day because Richard always seemed to be "holding court" with his friends and other associates at that time. A lot of things were talked about around 9-10 am in those days. Richard will be missed by many who he helped...

I had a 72 Super Beetle that Richard had to work on a lot. I'm sure he cringed when he saw me rolling up I was in there so often. What a sweet and smart man. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Due to the Corena Virus situation going on, we are canceling The Celebration of Life on Sunday March 22 at this time. We will reschedule at a later date!
Thank You for your understanding.
The Geniella Family

Very sorry for your loss.
