Our much loved and respected husband and father passed away on September 18, 2020 at West Houston Medical Center after long suffering caused by complications from diabetes. His ordeal was made unbearable due to the inhumane policy in connection with the corona virus that deprived him of visitors. He had to draw his last breath alone and without his family at his side.
Richard was born on June 16, 1950 to Dr. Donald W. Engelkemeir and Mrs. Antoinette Greiner Engelkemeir. He received his BS from the University of Illinois, his MS in Geophysics from the Colorado School of Mines and his PhD in Geology from the University of Houston. He was employed by Schlumberger for 40 years. He was a member of AA for 38 years.
Richard’s final resting place aligns with his request to be placed at Memorial Oaks Cemetery in the Terrace Mausoleum.
He is survived and missed by his wife, his son, his relatives, coworkers and friends.
