Richard, known to his friends and family as “Dick” or “Ace” is survived by the love of his life, his wife Patricia Teichman (nee Russo) whom he married in 1948.

After the War, he attended Boston University where he earned a BS in Geology and was a member of the United States Air Force Reserves. With a young bride and two young children, Dick ventured to the American West to begin his career searching for uranium for the American Atomic Energy Commission. Dick’s accomplished career was highlighted by 45 years for the Pennsylvania Railroad, which brought him back to the East Coast and ultimately settling in Radnor, PA. Dick instilled the value of education in his children, all of whom have college degrees, and many of whom went on to higher education – earning Masters degrees and . Each of his children have a model work ethic and are well-respected in their industries. Dick was generous to and cared for others, gave back to his community, and above all, adored his family. He lived life to the fullest and was sharp as a tack – propping up his stock day trading book with sound investments even in his final days.A faith-driven man, Dick and his wife Patricia would spend much of their free time attending service and singing at St. Katherine of Siena and the Daylesford Abbey. He was generous to a fault. He single-handedly depleted the local Wells Fargo branches of $2 bills, which he used to reward any hard-working members of the hospitality industry he would meet during his travels.
