Longtime Finch Paper Chairman Richard J. Carota Dies at 73

In 1993, Mr. Carota was honored as the Paper Industry Executive of the Year by the Paper Industry Management Association. At the time, he told hundreds of industry executives gathered in his honor in San Diego, "I've never considered myself the only idea person at Finch, Pruyn. I've had more responsibility than other people, but I've believed the only way we could succeed was if we pooled everyone's ideas. Teamwork has helped us accomplish some great things."
