Richard Plawin Obituary

Richard saw every person as his friend and often gave out cards containing that sentiment to all with whom he came in contact. He loved all people and especially enjoyed seeing little children. He had a deep love of art and music. He put these feelings into action with his work as a docent at the Orlando Museum of Art and as a volunteer for Arty-facts for Orange County Schools. He was a charter member of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, where he taught Sunday School and held many different church offices. When he and his wife Virginia moved to the Lutheran Haven, he transferred to St. Luke's Lutheran Church where he was a member until his death. He was a devoted and loving husband to his wife Virginia and a wonderful father to daughters Kathleen Zastrow and Paula Duppstadt. He enjoyed an especially close relationship with his grandson Peter Westmoreland. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Richard's memory to the Lutheran Haven, 2041 6.

Virginia and Family,

We are thinking of you all at this time. Richard was a good man and I know there will be a void in your family. He loved you all and he is at peace now. We treasure our memories of being your neighbors. I still can picture the mural he painted on the girls walls. We know this will not be a good Holiday season for you all but try and remember the good times.

With affection, Glenda Jo and Donnie
