Richard is survived by his devoted wife of 61 years Jill (Rodimon) Lynch; their adoring children Mark, Brian and Karen; grandchildren Ashley (Will), Marisa (Justin) and great-grandchildren Paighton and Roman.

Richard’s favorite color was blue. He loved trains, golfing, his dog Lily, birds and being home. Most of all, he loved his family. To know Richard was to love Richard and be loved by him.
