We were devastated to lose our longest-tenured instructor who was with us from our beginning in 2007. Richard taught hundreds of students at sister schools Yulupa and Strawberry. When students graduated from Yulupa they attended Strawberry. He had countless students from K-6 grade. When news broke at the schools we received many calls and emails from parents as well as condolence cards that we will forward to the family.

Richard’s legacy of providing a positive impact on the lives of his students in the chess world will live on in their hearts and minds.

Rest in Peace my friend.

****

From Haley Joerger’s Mom:

“Haley raced in Ukiah for Cross Country and drew Richard on her hand for motivation and inspiration :-).”

Haley was a long term student and has helped at the Santa Rosa tournament.

Transcribed, it reads:

Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Faithfulness, Generousness, Self Control

Chess Score:

Round 1 “0”
I lost the first round.
I am sure I will win next!

Round 2 “1”    [that’s a WIN]

Round 3…

Perhaps we’ll never know the outcome of Round 3.
But here’s what we do know:  Everyone who attended was a winner!

And anyone who has the forsight to write “Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Faithfulness, Generousness, Self Control” is already a winner in life.  Congrats to you, dear chess player!  And congrats to your family for teaching and encouraging these life lessons and values!

We are proud and honored to be part of life’s “wins”.

Congratulations to everyone who came out to participate and make for a great chess community event!
