MEMORIAL FOR RICK ROUSSEAU
This just received from Rick Comerford:
It is with great sadness that we share this news with you. On Friday May 31, 2013 Richard Rousseau died of a sudden heart attack.
Rick was a loving husband, son, brother, and a most trusted friend. He was a force of creative energy in the Art Materials industry as a retail buyer, manager and ultimately the owner and founder of the design and development firm Artist Hardware in Skokie IL. The void left in Rick’s passing will be felt in the hearts of everyone that has ever had the pleasure of knowing him.
Rick is survived by his mother, Kathleen, father Richard, sisters Karen and Sharon, wife Jennifer and his children Henry, Ella, and Will.
On Friday, June 7th, everyone is welcome to attend a memorial service and luncheon at their church, The First Presbyterian Church of Evanston, 1427 Chicago Avenue, Evanston, Il 60201 .
The family asks in lieu of flowers for donations to be sent to either your choice of Art Reach Chicago (a not for profit art community outreach program affiliated with Lillstreet Art Center) or to the Rousseau Children College Fund. You may contribute below via PayPal.
