Richard was born in Rockville Centre, N.Y. to Dean and Dorothy (Fink) Stambaugh. He was preceded in death by his father (also of Findlay). He is survived by his mother; brothers, Robert (Barbara) of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, Alan (Karen) of Akron, Ohio; his children, Emily (24) of Chicago, Ill. and Brad (18) of Holland, Ohio; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.
Richard attended Copley High School in Copley, Ohio where he met the love of his life, Melinda Snyder and formed many life-long friendships. Richard achieved the rank of Eagle Scout while living in Fairlawn, Ohio. He studied Industrial Engineering at Ohio University and was proud of a long career in the automotive industry. Warm-hearted, hard-working, and creative by nature, he enjoyed fishing, golfing and craftwork among a long list of interests. He found beauty in all things, was a friend to all people, and above all, committed his heart to his children.

Long absent from my life, but never from my heart. I have heard it said that old friends will certainly meet again, so til then I wait, hope and go on in a world that seems a bit darker for the loss of such a bright light. Farewell for now my dear friend.
