I am sorry to hear about Richard as well. My family and his family grew up together on Wright Street followed by when they moved to St. Helena Avenue and grew up with the Gaddis Family. I was lucky enough to continue to see him when he was a jeweler and I would bring my jewelry to him. A long time Santa Rosa family that I was part of. Love to all of the Gaddis Family.

I am very sad that Richard is gone. He was a big part of my life for many years. He had a heart of gold and helped many people. He was a very talented and unique man. I knew the moment we met that I wanted him in my life. I will forever cherish the good times we shared and he will always have a special place in my heart. Rest in peace Richard. I miss you every day immensely.

I am very sad to hear of Richard's passing. He was a wonderful person who always was happy and friendly. The last time I saw him was out at the Nursery about 20 years ago and we had a great visit. I am sorry he passed so young and I am sorry for his family because he was such a good man.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Rich's passing, and that he may have suffered in his brief illness. Tho' our paths haven't crossed in a long while, I have often and fondly thought of him through the years. Last I saw Rich, he was working his jewelry-design craft and seemed happy and content. I am brought back to our young adolescent years and am so grateful to have known Rich, his mom - and sis' Jimmy! We shared many happy times in your home! I send my warmest condolences to all of Rich's family. Rest in Peace dear friend.
With Love,
