I always felt a special connection that he and I happened to share the same birthday. My childhood was brightened by trips to New York and what felt like a magical home he literally created. I can remember each room's special wall coverings, the piano (his occasional attempts to teach me before I insisted on playing my own way), the woodsy backyard and pool, the den (I specifically loved the matryoshka dolls), the stuffed cat "Meowmers" and every detail down to the houndstooth wallpapered kitchen. I remember the kid's toy Jeep he used to watch Eric and I play in around the driveway. I remember trips into the city to see Broadway shows with him and grandma. I remember a framed photo of him and my great uncle in front of rekhóv Sokolov in Tel Aviv. When I went to Israel a couple months ago I wanted to find the street and take a photo in front, but did not get a chance. Some day I plan to go back and recreate the photo in his memory.
RIP grandpa Richard.

I will miss my father-in-law immensely. Richard was a truly generous person and always the consummate gentleman. He loved visiting his grandkids in California and always made the trip for each of their births. He remained curious and interested in their lives until the last time we spoke. I bonded with him over many things but we always cracked up at restaurants when we would never fail to order the same exact dish. He was a devoted husband, father, grandparent and companion which I found to be a personal inspiration and something to strive for. This world is a little emptier without him but so grateful for the impact he left.
RIP
