With Lynne’s love and support they built their new business one framing project at a time until they officially introduced Rider Frames and Gallery in October of 1981. While still in the hospital attempting to recover both physically and emotionally an artist friend of Ed’s asked if he would be interested in making oval frames for some of her recent work.Įd, a strong young man always looking forward, decided this could be an opportunity to possibly pursue a new career. Ed suffered a severe injury while helping his neighbors remove damaged trees from their property leaving him paralyzed. Ed, a woodworking hobbyist, would be dealt a life altering event in the early years of their marriage.
However, for some it’s also a great American love story! Ed and Lynne (Pfeiffer) Rider, high school sweethearts in the early 70’s married in 1976. The story of Rider Frames and Gallery is considered by many an example of great American Entrepreneurship. Nearby, the Eternal Flame – a naturally occurring flame flickering in a waterfall – is the highlight of many a visit to Chestnut Ridge Park. Social Tap & Grille, along with locally-owned, independent businesses still going strong in the heart of the village. At the junction of North Buffalo Road and West Quaker Road, you’ll find delicious food at stops like Mangia and O.P. It’s a vintage American village set in gently rolling countryside about a half hour drive from downtown Buffalo. But Orchard Park is much more than the place where the Bills Mafia gathers for eight Sundays a year. And nearby pubs like Big Tree Inn and the O’Neill’s Stadium Inn and Grill have also achieved a degree of fame outside the neighborhood owing to the loyalty they’ve inspired in Bills players and fans. The name may be familiar because Orchard Park is the home of the National Football League’s Buffalo Bills.
