Richard was born in Washington, DC, the fifth of eight children.

He and his wife moved to Sarasota in 1980 where he became a successful realtor and a volunteer for many non-profit organizations.

Richard enjoyed all Sarasota had to offer from lunch at the picnic tables at Siesta Beach to dining at its restaurants where he became a “regular” at many. He enjoyed gardening always planting vibrant flowers and trees around his home. Richard was an avid bridge player where he made lifelong friends.
