It is with great sadness to announce the passing of Richard Eugene Andre of Ontario, California. Richard entered into rest at the age of 79 on Friday, March 15, 2024. Richard was born in Chicago, Illinois on September 26, 1944.
Richard held a lifelong curiosity that professionally culminated in receiving his doctoral degree in education. Richard spent many years in the field of education, contributing to professional education programs in Brasil, Texas and California. He was loved by his students and was a mentor to many, several of whom kept in contact with him for decades. He loved the process of empowering others and would eagerly help anyone in need.
While Richard continued learning and achieving many accomplishments throughout his educational career and life, he was a different type of teacher; Richard was a leader and servant of the Baha'i faith. He dedicated his life to his faith, sharing his love of God and promoting the message of unity for all mankind. He encouraged others to live in love and diversity. His life was a message to pursue your dreams without prejudice, to love others unconditionally, and to honor your family as God honors the hearts of all. A graveside service for Richard will be held Thursday, April 18, 2024 from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM at Bellevue Memorial Park, 1240 W G Street, Ontario, CA 91762.
