Son of the late Loyal Carlson Sr. and Helen E. Carlson.
Beloved brother of Loyal Carlson Jr..
Fond uncle of Jessica Carlson, Lisa Plantamura and Laurie Dewey.
Survived by many cousins all of whom share fond memories of "Richie" and "The Major" at many sports events, Northfield Heating activities and family gatherings.
Richard enjoyed the Cubs, his family, oldies music and good food. He could easily talk to anybody and seeing his baby blue eyes light up when he laughed is a fond memory shared by all who knew him. He will be missed.
