1935 - 2025
Richard spent four decades working as a bank officer, a career that reflected his reliability, professionalism, and strong work ethic. Outside of work, he remained active in several local senior centers, where he enjoyed the friendships he formed and the activities he loved most. Whether playing pool or sitting down to a game of cards, Richard was known as both a pool shark and a card shark, approaching each pastime with skill and enthusiasm. He also took great pride in caring for his home, especially his well-kept lawn.
Richard leaves behind three daughters who meant the world to him: Brenda Keiser and her husband, Greg, of Medway; Linda Miner and her husband, David, of Fayetteville, Georgia; and Karen Berger and her husband, Robert, of North Grafton. He is also survived by five grandchildren—Derek and Danielle Keiser, Ashley and Matthew Miner, and Joseph Berger—as well as many nieces and nephews. Richard was the youngest of nine children, all of whom predeceased him.
