Richard Patrick Stewart

Rick, owner of Arch’s Glass Inc. and life-long resident of Cotati, California, passed away on June 22, 2020 at the young age of 61. Rick was born to parents Arch and Joanne Stewart on November 24, 1958, in Petaluma, California. Rick graduated from Rancho Cotate High School.

He married Mindy, his high school sweetheart, in 1984. Rick is survived by his wife Mindy, daughters, Caitlin Stewart and her love Travis, Kelsey and her husband, Larry Matelli Jr., his grandkids, Kinsley and Larry III. He also leaves behind his brothers Doug (Rae), Ken (Nancy), Scott and Don (Gina) his sister, Michelle, sister- in- law Laurie, aunts, cousins, numerous nieces and nephews, and his Arch’s Glass Staff.

Rick started pushing a broom across his father’s shop at the age of eight. He continued working there and took over running the shop when his father retired in 1991. Rick’s hard work and dedication to old fashioned values of customer service and pride in his work has kept the glass shop running strong. As Rick would say “give me a hammer and a chisel and I will be fine”.

Rick was an amazing friend and great mentor. He will be remembered for his generosity to family, friends and his community. He had many passions; playing softball, hunting, golfing, and most importantly spending time with his grand-kids.
