Born in Winter Haven, FL on August 17, 1952 he was a son to the late Edwin Sweat & Mary Mavoline (Scott) Wise. Richard was a retired truck driver, and had enjoyed the years traveling near and far. In his free time you could find him working on cars, playing on the computer, and watching old tv shows. He was quite the jokester, and had a blast playing the claw machines and winning stuffed animals for his kids and grandkids. He loved the holidays and filling up his “big plate”, sometimes twice. He loved his family and his grandchildren very much, and he will truly be missed. In addition to his parents he is preceded in death by his brothers Dennis Sweat and Bill Upton: grandson Jordan Buckley.
Survived by his daughters Janis Vaccariello; Rose & Adam Curry; Brandy Lavy & Jeremy Hodge; Mary Ann & Charley Harrison; Helen & Cody Carr: grandchildren Jared Buckley; Wesley Sholly; Skyler Sparks; Larissa Foster; Kinley Curry; Chester Rader; Garrett Taylor; Alexis Hodge; Hannah Hodge; Devyn Hodge; Espen Hodge; Layla Miles; Abel Miles; Egan Sweat- Thomas: 4 great-grandchildren: nephew James Baker: niece Melissa Barnwell: cousin Stanley Scott.
