Richard had a successful career as a principal salesman and production manager in the garment industry in New York City, where he was for a long time known as the “shoulder pad king.” Richard had a very kind and caring nature. Throughout the 1980’s he tirelessly ministered to a number of friends who died terrible deaths much too young. In 1991 Richard and his partner relocated to Albuquerque, Mexico, where he worked in a variety of businesses and pursued his interests in collecting Asian and Native American art and artifacts and continued to pursue his lifelong love of dogs, often owning 3-5 dogs at one time.

The last time i picked up Richard and took him to the shop for his cut and drove him home. The person who had been driving him recently quit so i offered help. He said he would call me in a month. since then, Tried calling him and found his phones had been canceled, and didn't have an address, Thought , maybe he had gone to visit brother. Looked him up finally on google and found this information. I am so sad,and am at a loss for words. I will miss him dearly. as i know you also will. please accept my condolences, Patricia Gonzales
