Richard may have began as a library patron, but he quickly became a dear friend. He attended weekly Scrabble Club, and eventually re-taught me how to play Cribbage which I have now taught my children. We will think of him fondly every time we play. He was very smart in a lot of odd subjects, showing my daughter how to use photoshop and showcasing his musicality with the accordion and piano. He was sharp as a tack to the end and generous with his time and knowledge. That, perhaps, is what I will miss the most.
Richard was such a wonderful man and friend. We first met at the Oakville Library many years ago and always had some wonderful conversations. He had such a passion for his card making and was very proud to show them off, even generously giving them to people he had just met for the first time, Richard was very lucky to find another love after his first wife passed away. He and Anita shared many good times together in Ct and NH and I hope they are happy again. The Scrabble Club won’t be the same without you. I will miss you dearly😢
