Longtime Finch Paper Chairman Richard J. Carota Dies at 73

When he was not working, which was not often, Mr. Carota enjoyed spending time with his longtime companion, Nancy Sawyer, his children and his grandchildren. He loved to garden at his home in Moreau and to fish with his sons on Lake George from a boat that he named, with characteristic humor, the RJ Sea (a play on his initials). He was an avid consumer of stock market and political news and a Civil War buff.
