Robert Lee Richman

Bob was the son of Ruth and Roy Richman, and was born on August 23, 1933 in Maurertown, VA. He was a member of the Mt. Zion Lutheran Church. He graduated from Toms Brook High School, and after graduation enlisted in the USMC. He was stationed in Japan during the Korean War.

After serving his country, he became interested in woodworking and enrolled in classes with the GI Bill. He served his apprenticeship with Colonial Reproductions in Woodstock, VA. His career in woodworking continued when he moved to the Northern Virginia area and worked for various companies. Over the years, he became a Master Craftsman and his work can be admired throughout the DC area such as the Reagan Building, White House, American Indian Museum and many churches and famous restaurants/bars. In 2006 he was recognized for his talent and received the Craftmanship Award from the Washington Building Congress.

Bob was a long standing member with the Annandale American Legion and the NRA.

He was married to his beloved wife Betty Tisinger Richman for 65 years and had a daughter Carla Richman Rogers, who is now engaged to Jerry Pomphrey, and loved them both dearly. His pride and joy were his two grandsons Ashton and Bryce Rogers that meant the world to him. He also loved Ashton's fiancé Katie Honey and Bryce's girlfriend Bailie Traviss, as well as his niece Amy Tisinger, the God Mother to his two grandsons.

Bob was an avid sports fan, but the Washington Redskins and Washington Capitals were his favorite teams. However, watching his grandsons play hockey on various travel and college teams gave him the most pleasure. He also enjoyed working in his yard and garden and was always found outside the house.

During retirement, he and Betty enjoyed many trips to Europe, Asia, Africa and within the United States.

Bob is preceded, by his parents, two brothers Floyd Richman and Harold Richman and two sisters Mildred Slaughter and Mary Peer, Mother and Father-in-laws, Clyde Tisinger and Virginia Hollar Tisinger and beloved brother and sister in-laws Wayne and Delores Tisinger.

Bob is survived by his wife, daughter, son-in-law, and grandsons. He is also survived by his sister Martha Good and brother-in-law William Good, sister-in-law Jean Richman and brother-in-law Phil Slaughter, as well as his seven nieces Amy Tisinger, Susan Slaughter Raymond, Cheryl Slaughter, Alesia Good Livesay, Teresa Richman Orndorff, Amy Good Bauserman and Angie Peer Salyards, and five nephews Jerry Richman, Greg Peer, Todd Peer, Randy Richman and Chris Slaughter.

The family of Robert Richman wishes to extend their sincere thanks to Bob's faithful classmate June Hockman and Jerry Pomphrey, future son-in-law for his selfless love and caretaking along with the attentive and professional care given by Blue Ridge Hospice and the Veterans Administration.

Memorials may be given in lieu of flowers to Blue Ridge Hospice or Tunnel to Towers.
