3rd, 2019. Rich was a true Patriot, jack-of-all-trades, strong willed and dedicated husband and
father. He served his Country well in the Navy during the Korean War. He lived out an
impressively full life, worked remarkably hard and yet always found the time to play hard too,
enjoying Barbershopping, the theater, dancing and traveling the world with his wife and best
friend by his side to name just of few of his joys in life. He was also a very active member of
the German American Club of Cape Coral, FL, one of his favorite weekly social pastimes. He is
survived by his loving wife Gail of 66 years, his daughter Laurie (Brad) McDonough and
grandson Colton James of Davidson, NC and nieces Patricia (James) Restall of Buffalo, NY
and Mary (Albert) Larnder of Rochester, NY. A memorial service will be held at 10am on Friday,
February 8th, 2019 at the Church of the Resurrection, 8121 Cypress Lake Dr., Fort Myers, FL. Burial will take place at a future date in Rochester, NY at White Haven Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, donations are
welcomed in his memory at the following: School of the Holy Childhood, Rochester, NY,
