Richard was born to Charles Angeline on May 6, 1926 in Rochester, NY and was raised on Curlew Street on the city's west side. He attended Jefferson High School and enlisted in the Army after graduation. He retired from Stromberg Carlson after a long career there working in electronic communications.
He met Felice, who asked him for a pencil while they were waiting in a line. She became his wife in a ceremony at Holy Rosary church. Richard was later to be a wonderful caregiver to Felice during her illness.
Richard always enjoyed family clambakes and events. His favorite activities included spending time in the water, at the beach, going to parties, golfing, fishing, vacationing, and bowling. He liked dancing, Big Band music, and Frank Sinatra.
Family and friends would best describe Richard as fun-loving, being easy to talk to, friendly, having a great sense of humor, and as a social "people person". He was hardworking, determined, intelligent, supportive, and also very handy. Richard was a dedicated husband and father who loved his family and liked to entertain others. He will be greatly missed.
