“continued... I have to share that I was moved to find out Rik passed on August 15, the very day I was clearing out old furniture reference books that had been piling up over the years at The Loft. I was compelled to open one of the books, which to my surprise, when opened found it was one that Rik had written about his family history!! I really believe Rik guided me to open it to save it from the donation box! We will keep it at the Loft to keep his energy there. ❤️Allison”

“Dear Jennie and Kristin, Again, I am so sorry to hear of Rik’s passing. He was such a joy to work with at the Loft building and was always so appreciative of even the smallest task or project completed. He created such a beautiful space for us all to live out our passions of finding and selling vintage and antiques. (i’m getting cut off so will continue in another post!...)”
