Richard N. Lombardo

Richard N. Lombardo passed on October 10, 2025. Beloved husband to Anna M. Lombardo (Buffa); loving son of the late Natale and Mary (Rodia) Lombardo; dearest brother to Albert (Jean) Lombardo and the late Peter (Rita) Lombardo.
Richard was born and raised in South Philadelphia, married his high school sweetheart Anna (they remained married for more than 70 years) and moved to Cherry Hill, New Jersey where they spent many wonderful years. During his working years, Richard was in the fashion industry, assisting many individual clients build their wardrobes and helping them find the perfect attire for any occasion. Among other personal interests Richard loved dogs (especially Minky and Coco), cars and travel. He and Anna shared many ocean cruises together, often times with friends and relatives, and more than a couple of trips to Las Vegas. In later years Richard took up the sport of racket ball devoting many hours to the sport, Richard became an accomplished player, and a desired double partner, among the friends who played with him at local gyms and tournaments. Richard had a special affection not only for his dear wife, and family members, but also for his nieces and nephews and their children, always remembering them on birthdays and special occasions. Richard was the first to offer help to his family and friends and when he needed a helping hand the neighbors he cherished and whose friendship he enjoyed for many years stepped in to help, their care gave him great comfort and peace of mind. All in all, Richard led a wonderful life.
In addition to his beloved wife Anna and brother Albert, Richard is survived by his niece Denise Giorgio Matusky (Pat) and their children Melissa (Mark Graney), Matthew and Mackenzie; and nephew Robert (Karen Connor) Giorgio and their children Angie and Joseph. Also, his cousins Elaine and Paul, other loving relatives, and dear neighborhood friends.
