Richard L Schamber Sr., a beloved carpenter and devoted family man, passed away on November 16, 2023, in Glen Ridge, NJ. He was born on February 3, 1954, in New York, NY. Richard was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend who touched the lives of many with his kindness and generosity.
Richard's career as a carpenter and home improvement specialist at Showcase Kitchen spanned over several decades. He was known for his exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Richard took great pride in his work and always went above and beyond to ensure that his clients were satisfied.
Outside of work, Richard had a passion for spending time with his family. He cherished every moment he spent with his grandchildren and found immense joy in their company. Richard's face would light up with a smile whenever he watched the NY Yankees play. He was an avid fan of the team and followed their journey faithfully.
One of Richard's proudest accomplishments was being a member of the SCAT Club. Richard's membership in this club was a testament to the time spent with his lifelong friends.
