Wayne Richard Biggs

I only knew Richard for a couple days when I was back in the area visiting. After an unfortunate event, my violin was in need of repair and I only had a few days before I flew out. Richard was recommended and he happily accepted the task to repair it given the short time frame. He not only repaired it in-time, but went above and beyond the job that needed to be done. I’m not a professional musician and my violin is a 30-year-old basic student violin. Nothing fancy, but it’s important to me to pass it along to my daughter. He valued that and wanted to make sure it was in the best possible condition. The violin looked beautiful, and what was a stressful situation for me, he completely turned around! Richard was a master at his craft and I could tell he truly enjoyed his work. He was also incredibly kind and encouraging, and our conversation was the push I needed to start volunteer teaching strings, which I love. My sincere condolences to the family. Such a kind man and I’m sure he’ll be missed by many!
