Throughout his life, Richard achieved many accomplishments in his service in the Air Force as an Intelligence Officer, and 40+ years of service with IBM where he worked in Finance and touched the lives of countless individuals through his volunteering to help the elderly with their taxes, and served as President of his HOA which included getting the installation of a pool in the neighborhood.

He will be deeply missed by his children; Carissima (Chris Coyle, Triste (Brian) Stoddard, and Abby Spinner, and his grandchildren; Scott and Marissa Mcllhany, Mary Alease Spinner, Ashley (Aldo) Palafox and Emma Stoddard, and his siblings; Cathy (Matt Ulrich, Jeff, and Bob along with many other extended family members and friends. He was preceded in death by his wife Mary Coyle, his parents; Patricia and John Sr. and Stepmom Eleanor Coyle, and his sister Patricia Pisciotto and brother John Coyle Jr.
