Richard Boris
Richard (Dick) Sedwick Boris, 81, loving husband, father and grandfather passed away unexpectedly on May 14, 2021. He is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Lynn Boris, and his children Jamie Boris of New Canaan, CT and John Boris of Piedmont, CA, his son-in-law, Paul Lapin, daughter-in-law, Tara Boris, and his cherished grandchildren Eleanor, Madeleine, Anderson, Henry, Charlotte and Eloise. Born in Brooklyn, NY to Shirley and Sam Boris and raised in Albany, Dick graduated from Cornell University and NYU Law School. He practiced employment law for over 50 years and was a founding partner in the law firm Moss & Boris in New York City. Dick and Lynn moved to Greenwich, CT in 1976 where they raised their children. Dick loved his family more than anything else in the world. He was a devoted husband and an exceptional father and grandfather. Dick had remarkable group of loyal friends who were so near and dear to him. Once you were his friend, you were his friend for life. He genuinely loved helping others and was always there for those in need. A larger-than-life figure with a huge personality, Dick filled every room he entered. He was unabashedly gregarious, with wicked sense of humor and always entertained his family and friends with jokes, stories and smiles. He was smart as whip and well-versed in all subjects. As an avid Yankees and Knicks fan, he was always keen to discuss game highlights and season predictions. Above all else, Dick was an incredible force for good and touched the lives of so many in ways large and small. With a big belly and hardy laugh, he did it his way to very end. We will miss him so dearly and he will remain in our hearts forever.
