Richard retired after 34 years from Chrysler in 2001 and in 2004 moved to Florida where he loved the sunshine, swimming and making new friends at the pool.

The family of Richard would like to say a special thank you to Good Shepherd Hospice in Auburndale, FL for the care of our dad during his final days, Ronda Warmbier for taking dad to appointments, caring for him at home during the day, and his childhood friend and best man Bob Paul for a lifetime of laughter and memories. A celebration of life will be held at a later date in Indiana.
