Hello,
Please forward this message on to the Beyer family if this does not reach them directly.
My name is Liz Rekevics. My father, Seattle architect Karlis Rekevics worked on a few projects with Rich years go. My brother, Karlis Rekevics (also) had an apprenticeship with Rich before he moved to New York to pursue his artistic career as a sculptor.
A number of years ago - Rich joined my brother, my father, my uncle (Valdis Zarins, also a sculptor) on a RFP for the veterans’ memorial at the Washington Capital in Olympia. While we didn't get the project, it was a joy to watch such great minds and creativity come together. I actually believe I still have the models Rich created for the presentation.
I remember Rich fondly - My father took me along on a number of drives to a few projects they worked on together. My fondest memory was his story telling. I would sit calmly as an 8 year old (or thereabouts) for a few hours just listening and smiling. My father found it important for me to have the experience of knowing this great man. I have thought of him over the years when I see his many works in the Seattle area. I am honored to have known him. I am so sorry for your loss.
My father passed away almost 10 years ago, so I understand the loss of greatness. However, I have learned that all the lessons he left behind have eased the loss and void left behind. I hope the same for you and your family.
My deepest condolences.
Lizzy Rekevics and family.
