Richard, (Dick as he preferred to be called), passed away unexpectedly on September 27, 2024. Loving husband of Patricia (Rucker) for 54 years, dear father of William (Marlene) and David. He is survived by his sister Erma Jean and brother Lawrence (Susan). He was preceded in death by his parents Charles and Florence Morgan and brother Robert.
Dick was born in Toledo, Ohio and was a graduate of Sylvania High School and attended Bowling Green State University. He was a proud veteran of the United States Air Force serving from 1968-1972. He had an exceptional career in computer technical support and retired as the Director of IS for the Ohio Turnpike Commission. He had many interests – wood and metal working, lapidary, reading - especially Louis L’Amour and Tom Clancy, cooking, electronics – he held the Amateur Radio license WB8BGE, finding new red wines to enjoy, and was always up for a visit to a local cemetery in support of Pat’s genealogy research.
Per his wishes no services will be held and cremation has taken place. He will be interred at Rose Hill Burial Park in Akron. In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations to The Society 4283 Paradise Road, Seville, Ohio 44273. The family is grateful for the support of the staff and residents at StoryPoint Senior Living during this time.
