He is also survived by his brothers and sisters; Ronald [GloryAnn], Steve [Sharon], Sheron [Roger], Deborah [Ian]. Richard is further survived by many nieces and nephews that he adored.
Rich will be fondly remembered by family and friends as a loving father, professor of life, scientist, published author, beloved manager, champion of witty banter, source of comfort, and mentor to all who worked with him. Everyone he came in contact with was left a better human being. He had the 'gift of gab' and brought the offer of friendship everywhere he walked [and he walked every single day]. He was a dedicated husband and father that cared deeply for his family.
Eternally remembered as 'Rich' - He will truly be missed.
