RICHARD RISHEL Obituary
He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Carol; his sons Christian and Peter, their wives Emily and Gabriella, and grandson Lance. He was preceded in death by his parents, Herbert and Evelyn, and sisters, Gay and Barbara.
Rick graduated with the Upper Dublin High School class of 1961, near Philadelphia, PA, and earned a BA in History from Penn State University in 1965. After graduation, he began his career at First Pennsylvania Bank of Phila., concurrently serving in the Pennsylvania National Guard for six years. His career in banking flourished, and Rick eventually became the President and CEO of Continental Bank, also in Philadelphia. Rick then served as the Secretary of Banking for the State of Pennsylvania from 2000-2005 and was involved with many boards and civic endeavors.
He enjoyed the beach and many hobbies, including golf, reading, fishing, and more golf!
His quiet strength, good humor, kindness, gentle nature, generosity, humility, and handsome, smiling face will be missed.
The family wishes to thank everyone for their love and support, especially friends, extended family, Community Hospice, Beaches Parkinson's Disease Support Group, and his personal caregivers Maxine, Michelle, and Della, who cared for him with great tenderness.
A Memorial Service will be held at Community Presbyterian Church, 150 Sherry Dr., Atlantic Beach, FL on Sunday, April 26, 2015 at 2:00 P.M., followed by a reception.

My condolences to the Rishel family. Played a lot of golf with Rick at Manufacturer's Golf and Country Club and always enjoyed our time together. He was a gentleman and although I haven't seen him for several years his name frequently comes up in our golf outings with so many stories of his passion for the game.
