Hi Patty, I only heard about MY barber Rich recently up here in Hazleton, PA about his passing. I go back with Rich 60 years. I started out his paperboy as a young teen trying to make a few bucks. I continued that relationship all these years even after moving to Hazleton. I would come back with my wife when she got here hair done at her salon. Never had to ask Rich how to cut my hair. HE KNEW. He was THE very best. Loved being in his chair. Great conversations over 60 years. Will never forget all those "days". Will reach out soon to say hi. Hope you´re doing well. Regards, Carl Kuchler.

Patty, Richard was a dear friend for over 30 years and he will be missed. He always did a good job on my beard and I really enjoyed riding with you and Richard.

Richie as some of us called him. It´s been quite some time since I had a hair cut from Richie always wondered how he was doing. He cut my hair for over 20 years I did a couple bathrooms for him in his Glenolden houses. He was a great guy. Sorry for you loss Patty

Patty,
I am so sorry to hear of Rich's passing. I was one of Rich's clients for 20 plus years. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed talking to him. Even when I moved to Delaware, I'd still drive up to have my haircut with Rich. He was the best. May you find peace.
Sincerely,
Nick Stuardi
