Gentlemen:


It is with extreme pleasure that I am writing to you. After having 
seen what passes for good work nowadays, it was indeed a pleasant 
shock to see the results of the refinishing job that you did on our 
antique wall clock. Your work was not good, rather it was great.


As you know, we here at Tiffany & Co. take great pride in the quality 
and craftsmanship of the work we produce. This same quality and 
crafsmanship is self evident after gazing upon your work. You may 
be assured that a gift such as you have shown in your work is deeply 
appreciated by all of us here at Tiffany & Co.


In the future all work of this sort that we have will be sent to you 
and I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone who is looking 
for the best craftsmen in the art of restoration of fine antiques and 
collectibles.


Once again, thank you very much for a job well done.


Yours Appreciatively,


Paul J. Orson

Dear Rick,


 My husband and I appreciated our visit to your workshop 
recently, and seeing the lovely restorations you are doing was a 
pleasure.


 Thank you for the excellent work of your men in refinishing 
our furniture. We had thought the coffee table was a total loss, 
but now it's a thing of beauty.


 We are also grateful to you for restoring the narcissus print, 
which we do treasure. Thank you, too, for the "surprise treat" -- 
you are kind indeed.


 It is refreshing to view quality craftsmanship such as we
saw at Poor Richards.


 May God bless you and your work.


Sincerely,


Mrs. Commissioner Norman S. Marshall

Dear Rick,


Congratulations on doing such a beautiful job on our 
desk. Who ever would have believed that you could have restored 
it to look like new? I knew you were talented and creative, but 
this time I think you broke your own record!


 Dr. Henry H. Kessler, our founder, was the original 
owner and, for this reason, we wanted to preserve it. We plan 
to exhibit the desk at the Institute along with other memorabilia 
of the late Dr. Kessler.


 Thanks a million, Rick. We all love it.


Sincerely,


Anthony L. Formica

Dear Rick,


This is just a note to thank you for the fine quality of 
work that you showed in the recent restoration of a chandelier at 
Lambert Castle. I am sure that you will agree that the fixture was a 
wonderful piece and was a fine example of its 1920s-1930s style. 
Your fine work helped to bring out its great beauty in a way that 
hasn't been seen in more than twenty-five years.


 Once again, thank you for your work. I hope that we will be 
able to extend that sort of quality workmanship to the rest of 
Lambert Castle's restoration.


 Best personal regards.


Sincerely,


Norman M. Robertson

Freeholder, Passaic County




Dear Rick,


As the Diocese of Paterson celebrates its Golden 
Jubilee, it is a delight for us to look up in our 
renovated Cathedral and see the gleaming chandeliers 
that you have refurbished. They are more beautiful than 
ever. It is always a delight to take things that are 
old and treasured and restore them so that they can be
enjoyed for years to come as they were for years long 
past. Thank you for doing such a good job on our 
Cathedral chandeliers.


 With every good wish, I am


Sincerely yours,


Most Reverend Frank J. Rodimer

Bishop of Paterson
