Loving father of Justin (Danielle), Zach (Mollee), Garrett and his late beloved daughter Jillian. Cherished grandfather of Oliver, his only grandchild, and son of Zach and Mollee. Richard was one of seven loving and dear brothers and sisters. Brother of Greg, Tom (Judy), Barb, Janet (Greg) Breen, Sue (Billy) Liston, and the late Michael Fishaw. Richard is also survived by his friend and former wife, Deborah.

Richard was dearly loved by his family, his friends, and the local community.  A staple in the Metro Detroit auto mechanic industry, Richard was cherished for his professionalism and workmanship. 

Richard was a kind man that approached life with optimism and understanding.  He deeply loved his sons, his Detroit sports, and his cats with all the love he had. He will be greatly missed by all those that knew him.
