He is survived by his loving mother, Honey Levick, his sisters Jil Levick (Ben Alpert), Deb Lindsey (David) and sister-in law, Julia Gertler. Richard was the uncle to many nieces and nephews, Max and Dan Alpert, Hannah and Wyatt Lindsey, Carly, Nathan Gertler, and Amanda Gertler Light (Jason). He is met in heaven by his father, Robert Levick and brother, Gary Gertler.

Richard was the Chairman & CEO of LEVICK, a Washington, DC, crisis communications and public affairs firm, representing countries and companies in the highest-stakes global matters.

He was honored multiple times on the prestigious list of "The 100 Most Influential People in the Boardroom" and has been named to several professional Halls of Fame for lifetime achievement.

Richard was the co-author of four books and was a regular commentator on television and in print. He provided keynote speeches all over the world and frequently lectured at Harvard, Stanford, West Point, the U.S. Army War College and Georgetown Law, among many others. He was the former Director of the American University School of Public Affairs Leadership Program and recently was a Professor at Fordham Law School.

Richard was loved deeply by the many lives he touched with his brilliance and kindness. He had a great love of all sports, gourmet cooking, nature walks in Rock Creek Park with friends, mountain hikes, and his passion for his profession.
