So sadden by this news I met Richard 8 years ago when I started work in Customer Service at NYCM. He was a great friend coworker and was hard when he had to retire sooner than planned. One of my memories I will cherish is that he loved Mac And Cheese and I have daughter who does as well and he always asked how my little Mac Cheese was. My thoughts and prayers to his family... and know his NYCM family is truly sadden by this loss as well.

I am so sorry for the families loss. I worked at the store in South New Berlin. Every Sunday he would come in for 5 packs of Winston and the newspaper.
He was a sweet person and always talked about mother. He will be missed.
