Richard Padula Obituary
Anthony
Richard Anthony Padula, 54, of Duluth, Georgia, passed away unexpectedly on March 6, 2024. He was born in Paterson, New Jersey, on March 14, 1969. Richard and his family moved around the country from Minnesota, Florida, and Georgia where he ultimately made his home.
From his childhood he was fascinated with computers, which led him to attend Georgia Tech where he received his master's degree in Electrical Engineering. He was an avid basketball fan and loved following college basketball, especially March Madness. In his earlier years Richard got his pilot's license and he enjoyed taking anyone that would fly with him up in his Commander airplane.
Richard was blessed to have spent the last 18 years with the love of his life, Sandy. Together they built a beautiful life that they loved which included their sweet fur baby named Ellie.
He was always so generous with his time. He would go out of his way to help anyone in need. He loved his family dearly and he leaves behind a void that will never be filled.
He is survived by his parents, Richard and Alvina (Weenie) Padula; lifelong girlfriend, Sandy Kim; and her son, John (Michelle) Rozek; brother, Christopher (Tracy) Padula; sister's, Stefanie (Ralph) White, and Laura Lynn (Matthew) Howard; numerous nieces and nephews, and extended family.
