Richard STERN

I met Mr. Stern through a family named the Weilers they recommended me to him for a job . It was truly a pleasure to work for him and his wife she was delightful i admired for if for no other reason than taking two cats in lol. he ran across my mind today and i grabbed his book Winning With The Velvet touch off of my book shelf and then i looked him up and sadly came across his obituary . Mrs. Stern I know I'm late but I'm am sorry for your loss . ...

Its hard to believe it has been three years since Richard passed away.
I think of him so often. In the short period of time that I knew him, he touched my heart in such a profound way. Richard made a difference in my life. I still read his book Winning with The Velvet touch. I will always remember him for his kindness and brilliant smile

I only knew Richard for a few years yet in that time he touched my heart with his sincere kindness. His smile would light up the entire room. I could see he was a man who embraced life, genuinely cared about others~He was "The Velvet Touch". I will cherish his book he gave me as a gift and hold it close to my heart.

He will be missed by so many yet he is at peace.

I'm so sorry for you loss

I worked for Dick for several years. He was a great boss, and a great man. He was quite a businessman. He raised three fine sons, of whom he was very proud. I send my condolences to his family.

Mr. Stern was a wonderful person and a delight to be around. My daughter and I will miss him greatly.

Dick certainly had the "Velvet Touch" and how about that smile!!!

Mr. Stern was truly one of the nicest and friendliest men I have ever met. He was always so gracious. He sincerely listened and cared about what people had to say. I feel fortunate that our paths crossed in life. I will miss him but will always remember him. My condolences to the entire Stern family as well as all those associated with the Freshen's brand.

Uncle Dick as my family called him was one of those souls that you can never replace. He wrote a book about it and the man had it, The velvet touch. As a young man and in to my teen years he had a such a tremendous affect on me and my development as a young man always there for support or to motivate in his special way. I never left an encounter with Uncle Dick without feeling like I was the best kid on the planet. He was there for me and my family when my father became ill, still helping me...

Richard LOVED being on this planet. He always said, "I'm the richest man alive because of my family and friendships." So sorry to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the Sterns.

Blessings,
Mary
