Charles Ricard Obituary
Northbrook, IL.: Age 87, went to be with the Lord on Monday, August 14, 2017. Beloved husband of his late wife, Ruth, for 56 years. Loving father of Marc Charles Ricard, and Linnea (Dennis) Brown. He is also survived by his sister, Ruth Keller Jones, and several nieces and nephews. Born and raised in Rochester, N.Y., he was a graduate of Monroe High School, and the University of Rochester Simon School of Business. He was the longest serving member of the Rochester Numismatic Association. He was a bank auditor, writer, teacher, numismatist, Korean War veteran, and scholar, who devoted his life to his three passions: his family, his profession, and his numismatic endeavors. He was a loving and faithful husband, father, and friend, but most of all, he was a good man.
A private graveside service will be held at the Wheaton Cemetery in Wheaton, IL. Info and guest book at www.hultgrenfh.com

I came to be acquainted with Charlie through a shared passion for our hobby. He was a kind and generous man. He was actually my neighbor on Dunning Avenue in Webster when I was a child.

Charlie was a neighbor of my childhood residence. I especially admired the charisma that he exhibited as an ambassador for my hobby of numismatics.
