Remembrances

Richard danced with Puddletown from 1990 to 2004 until he moved to Reno, Nevada for work with Microsoft. Previously, from San Diego, he was a founding member of Finest City Squares.

The last convention he attended was Phoenix in 2004 and the A&C that year in Tahoe. He had to give up square dancing because of MS.

Prior to Square dancing, Richard was a "professional" dancer, having danced in many countries including France, Spain, Lebanon and Italy. He then came back to the US and performed in the "Lido de Paris" show at the Stardust Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. From there, he became a computer programmer and moved to San Diego. He and Keith met at Northstar Promenade in 1990 in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

A native Angelino, he was buried in Inglewood, California, in the family plot next to his father, Edwin. His mother, Barbara, still resides in Oceanside, CA.
