Richard Griese Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 1, 2024.
Richard Fredrick Griese, 77, of Clearwater, Florida, passed away on September 26, 2024. Born on December 28, 1946, in West Long Branch New Jersey, Rich lived a life marked by a robust love for leisure and an eclectic career path.

Rich worked for a decade in hospital maintenance, demonstrating a knack for problem-solving and dedication. His career also spanned construction, bartending, and management, showcasing his versatility and ability to connect with people from all walks of life.

A man of simple pleasures, Rich was often described as the life of the party, always with a cigarette in one hand and a beer in the other, surrounded by friends. His hobbies included light gun shooting, fishing, and golfing which allowed him to enjoy both the outdoors and the company of good friends.

Rich is survived by his wife, Lynda, and his son, Richard. He will be remembered for his easy-going nature and his ability to enjoy life to the fullest.

Immediate family is planning a celebration of life event in New Jersey in the coming months, as there will be no funeral services. Rich's memory will be honored in the hearts of his loved ones and all who knew him.
