RC worked for me for over 35 years. He was dependable, loyal and always pleasant. I could always rely on him when I needed help. I considered him not only an employee but a friend. He will be missed by many. My deepest sympathy to his family.

My heart is broken. Anyone who knows me, knew RC. He was a gentle giant, a big teddy bear and a good person. Always there for us, he would drop everything if I needed him. We did all we could to help him in return, I only wish he would have let us do more....I am going to miss him so much. RIP RC xoxox

Met RC years ago and always found him to be funny with a caring heart. Tried to help many a youth. Met him through Walter Miller and shared him with Betty Ann Hatchell, Helen Aldret, Susan Colwell, and many others. Did what we could for him because he was a compassionate man and we were all fond of him. May he rest in healthy peace. I am sorry for your loss. Roban Benich

I got to know RC back in 2008 when we both rented space in Dorchester Rd. What a character. Good man who would help you and gave of himself. Loved his laugh. Most sorry for your loss.

Mike and I were so sorry to hear of your loss. We have worked with RC for many years through Leatherwood Business Park and Leatherwood Manufacturing. He was always quick to 'visit'. Many times we heard of his family visits. May your memories bring you comfort.
