It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Richard Arnold Dickinson Brundage (59) on July 15, 2022 in Atlanta, Ga where he had been a long time resident. He was the son of Marie and the late Arnold Brundage, Tequesta Florida. He is survived by his three sisters Cyndy Pierce and her husband John, of Tenafly, New Jersey. Wendy Huntley and her husband Bill, of Colts Neck New Jersey and Melissa Brundage and her Partner Connie Trein, of Columbus, Ohio. He was also survived by nieces and nephews Scott Pierce, Courtney Pierce, William Huntley, and Mary Huntley. Richard had a very successful career rising up the corporate ladder to executive positions with Lever Brothers, Maxfli Golf Balls, Mikes Hard Lemonade, Pilsner Urquell, The Miller Company, and a Vice President at the Guinness Corporation. Richard, also known as "Rico" and or "Mr. Fabulous" was known for his gregarious personality, great sportsmanship, generous philanthropy, and dancing extraordinaire. Richard was a dedicated golfer and was an active member of (CCR) Country Club of Roswell since he joined in 1990. We hope Heaven is ready because it is "Showtime!!" Visitation on Wednesday, August 10, 2022 from 4-7PM at Barrett Leber Funeral Home, 148 Dean Drive, Tenafly.

I met Richard on the stairwell of my apartment building when I was just moving in. He introduced himself and we quickly became friends. It didn't take him long to introduce me to everyone in the building. I was afraid, because this was the first time that I was alone and away from family, but Richard became my new family. He was like a close brother and always willing to lend a hand, if needed. It was August 1986 when we first met, and I still remember his face, his voice, his excitement concerning almost everything, especially work. I could hardly wait to see him when he came home from work late afternoon. Then I would leave for work around 6:15 PM. He was the highlight of my days. We lost contact when he moved, I believe California, but I never forgot him. Rest in peace my friend. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, 2Corinthians 5:8.

Glad I was able to pay respects today to Richard and meet his amazing mom and three younger sisters. Terrific eulogy by Cindy bringing to life some of the "best of" collection of RAB´s vast library of material to keep us laughing and engaged. Prayers to the family and thanks to RAB for a lot of great memories as it never felt like work while at Guinness and Maxfli

Very sad to hear of Richards passing. Definitely one of the Atlanta beer business legends. Gone way to soon but his memory will live on forever.

My deepest sympathy to Richard's family and friends for the loss of one dynamic personality. He will be sorely missed, but I know he's upstairs teaching someone that slap your hands and say "who's your daddy" routine he always pulled on me. I'm sure he just liked to hear my giggle. Miss you already Mr Fab ....
