Richard will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 33 years, Alma Greenhouse and be fondly missed by his daughter Amanda M. Greenhouse, his stepchildren Antonio Menzies, Gissela Flores and all of his grandchildren Michael, Danielle, Tyler, Mitchell, Aleigha, Victoria and Savanna.
Born in Brooklyn, New York the son of Morris Charles Greenhouse and Josephine Greenhouse where a few years later the family moved to Virginia Beach, Virginia. In his early 20s he joined the United States Marine Corps and later served about 4 years in the Reserves. He worked for the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Virginia in Shop 17 as a Foreman for more than 17 years in which he later retired.
Richard had a passion for animals, especially his german shepherds. He also was an avid boater and deep sea fisherman. The ocean was where his heart truly soared. His perfect day was fishing out on a boat either alone of with his friends and family. He enjoyed traveling very much, places like Europe and most of Central America especially Honduras. It was like a second home to him where he made many friends through the years, friends that will also miss him greatly!
He was preceded in death by his brother Joseph and Sister Barbara Greenhouse.
