Richard Little Obituary
Rochester: Richard M. Little, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle, died peacefully January 1, surrounded by his family. Predeceased by parents and brother Russ, he is survived by his wife Claudia; his children Chris, Jennifer, and Eric Little; siblings Joyce, Bruce and Lily; nieces and nephews, and grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Richard lived life to the fullest and was lovingly devoted to his family.
In his 35 year career as a Kodak electrical and human factors engineer, he strove to improve workplace safety and workers' lives. An active conservationist and lifelong outdoorsman, he wrote in his memoir of "canoeing" through his life, as army veteran, massage therapist, spiritual seeker, playful storyteller, and beloved family elder. Even in death his generous heart graces us with its sweet gifts. Donations can be sent to Calusa Land Trust & Nature Preserve, PO Box 216, Bokeelia, FL 33922.

Dear Claudia and Family,
Dick was my first supervisor at Kodak in 1982. I couldn't have had a better mentor and role model. He was dedicated to improving the health and safety of Kodak people and he had a big impact on the work lives of many employees. Please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences.

Chris,
I am so sorry for your loss. I never met your father but I imagine that some of your outdoorsman skills came from him. May he rest in Peace. May your memories be sweet.

My condolences to Claudia and your family. I did not know you and Richard for very long but it was obvious how much you loved each other and what an important role family has played in your lives. With deepest sympathy, Cindy.
