Obituary: 

Richard died after a long and brutal fight with Parkinsons. He's survived by his wife Reva, Daughter Cathy, Son Geoff, Grandson's Jesse and Shawn, Sisters Laura and Debbie, Brother John, and the remains of an incredibly eclectic group of friends. He was a fantastic husband, father, brother and friend as well as an excellent advocate for anyone who needed help throughout his personal life and his career in Social Work.  He is deeply missed. 

From Daughter Cathy
