Richard was known for his zest for life, eagerness to be outside and love of his family. He is survived by Lynn; his two daughters, Kathy Maier, and Nancy Phillips and her husband, Blake; his step-daugher, Laura Blood, and her husband, Michael; his four grand-daughters, Danielle, Kara and her husband John Bouck, Nicole and Lindsay; as well as his great grand-son, Lincoln. He is predeceased by his son, Erick and his brother, Walter.
Always either on the golf course, in the gym or socializing with someone, Richard had friends from New Jersey to the Midwest and throughout Florida. His laugh was infectious and his stories memorable.
