Thanks for asking about how he did it. Here's
the story as written by a family member for our website...

'On Saturday March 27, 2004 Richard surprised Kerri by having a towncar pick her up at 7am and whisk her off to JFK International Airport. (She thought she was going to be getting on the LIRR that morning to see Richard in the city.)
Once at JFK, she was led to the Jet Blue terminal where a ticket to Rochester was waiting for her. Confused, but excited, Kerri boarded the plane for Rochester, and took what seemed like the longest 52 minute flight in the history of air travel. Once in Rochester, a state trooper holding a sign bearing Richard’s nickname for Kerri, met her at the airport and drove her to Richard’s house in Naples...Hunt Hollow -the place where they met and fell in love 10 months earlier. There inside, waiting at the top of a staircase adorned with candles and lavender rose petals, was Richard. After hesitating for a moment, because she didn’t want to step on and ruin the rose petals, Kerri met Richard at the top of the stairs, where after a beautiful speech about true love and the reality of fairytales, Richard got down on one knee and proposed.'

I said yes!

Thanks for reading!
