He was born on December 20, 1946, in Chicago, Illinois before moving to Encino, California in 1959, from Benton Harbor, Michigan. He spent over 45 years at UCLA as a student, medical student, and dermatologist. While he had patients who came from near and far, he was most proud of his family and friends. Richard, an avid golfer, reader, and athlete, lived a full live filled with accolades and accomplishments. He and his beloved wife, Nancy, travelled across the globe setting foot on all seven continents. He touched the life of many as a longtime member of the full-time facility and clinical faculty member of the UCLA medical school and by coaching youth soccer and baseball for many years and a driving force for the integration of the Santa Monica Little League. Post-retirement, he was often found on the golf course, pickleball court, or on a cruise ship telling stories and jokes. He passed as he lived with honesty, humor, and humility.

Richard is survived by his wife Nancy, son Daniel, daughter Debra, daughter-in-law Sarah, son-in-law Gabriel, and grandchildren Emily, Max, Desmond, and Vincent, and sister Susan and will be deeply missed. His stories, jokes, and role modeling of a love for life will live on forever through all who came across him.
