The bond he had with his closest friends was truly special, and turned these friends into family.A lifelong USC Trojan fan and proud season ticket holder for more than 30 years, Richard loved attending games with his wife Linda and his children. He was also an avid Boston sports fan, and could often be found rooting for his Red Sox on television and encouraging umpires who made bad calls to have their heads examined.Richard cherished spending time with his family, in particular weekend movie outings together to see new releases. His sharp memory and wit served to make him the go-to consultant on all things film and television within the family.
