We are sad to announce that on September 19, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Richard David Schaefer of Hillsborough, New Jersey, born in Brooklyn, New York. Family and friends can send flowers and/or light a candle as a loving gesture for their loved one. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Richard David Schaefer to show support.

In the hush of twilight, as the stars twinkle in silent homage, we reflect on the legacy Richard leaves behind and his impact on the lives of his loved ones. Though Richard may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the memories held dear by his family and friends, a guiding light that illuminates their paths in times of darkness.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Max Schaefer and Pearl Schaefer. He is survived by: his wife Zahava R. Schaefer (Bensoul); his children, Heidi Schaefer (Kevin BiFulco) and Michael Schaefer; his stepsister Barbara Cohen; and his granddaughters, Samantha and Izabelle Schaefer.
