Richard Leroy Stoer

May God, Love and peace be with you and your family and friends. I wish I would of known about his death. I would of come to pay my respect. I only knew him 8 years living in Forest Lakes. Elaine was our first friend when we moved there in 1992. Elaine you and your family have been in my heart since we left. Hope you all are well I will keep you in my prayers . Love always Debora & Michael Otto

I will always remember Mr. Stoer´s kindness and patience. I am thankful to have spent time with your family, Fleesh, and to know your Dad. He was smart and very loved. I am so sorry for his passing and I pray you find peace in your cherished memories.

As a fellow candlestick enthusiast, his contribution with the series of books has been a valuable resource and his, Tom's and Elaine's efforts in that endeavor will provide a legacy.

First time I met Rich was when has car broke down, he and Elaine was walking home when I picked them up. From that day on we became good friends. He would always help me if I needed a hand. What a great guy. He & Elaine spend some vacations together with me & my wife. I surely will miss him.

Collaborating with Rich and Elaine on our series of books on Glass Candlesticks was one of the highlights for my partner Bob and myself and one of our proudest accomplishments. Having lost Bob a few years back after an unexpected bout with cancer, I only wish that I could share with Elaine some wisdom on how to cope with such a profound loss. The void is one that will be with you for the remainder of your own life, but one that you can slowly begin to replace with all of the good memories that offer proof that while he may be physically gone, he will always be part of your life.

Rich and I were friends from earliest elementary school to 10th grade when my family moved to Florida. I was fortunate to see Rich a couple times on return trips to New Jersey 20 or more years ago. He always had a good time, and nary a negative word about anyone. I'm sorry he's gone.

Rich was one of the first kids to make friends with me when my family moved to Denville. We were 8 y.o! The friendship continued through H.S. and years later met up with mutual friends in Denville. I´ll never forget his kindness nor his smile. Sending prayers to his family.

Sincere wishes for a peaceful rest. Heartfelt sympathy to Elaine, Felicia, and Steve. Remembering our many excursions for antique glass. You taught us much. In sympathy. Lee and Jill Yaffey

Dear Elaine-- We are so sorry for your loss. We pray that the void left will soon be filled with your happy memories of your long life together. The Williams/Willies connection began long before we were born and Rich was a welcomed addition. He was loved and will be sorely missed.
With love,
Doug & Rhonda

Extending our heartfelt condolences to your family. You are in our prayers for peace and comfort during this difficult time, and in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
