We’re heartbroken to hear about the passing of Joe Richter.
Joe was a wonderful teacher, a kind soul, and a true friend to our SWUG community. He joined us at multiple events over the years, always showing up with a generous spirit and a genuine love for helping others learn. Whether you were a beginner or a seasoned pro, Joe had a way of making everyone feel capable.
We feel lucky to have known him. Lucky to have learned from him. His presence in our community will be deeply missed, but the impact he made will continue to be felt in the lives and careers of so many.
Joe leaves behind his wife Barbara and son Nigel. If you’re able to help or want to share a message of support, his family has created a GoFundMe page here:
