He was a member of the Loyal Order of Moose and enjoyed traveling, billiards, reading and classic cars. Richard is survived by his wife, Lois E. Kober whom he married in 1984; a stepson, Tim Nichols of Leesburg, Ga.; his mother, Estella Kober of Annapolis; two sisters, Carol Murphy of Churchton and Teresa Stack of Upper Marlboro; his grandchildren, T.J., Thomas and Daniel Nichols and Nicholas, Corey and Kristy Payne, all of Leesburg, Ga.; and two nieces.
Message from Lois Kober, Panama Beach, Florida, June 2014.
You are certainly welcome to use Richard's photo for the reunion site. I don't know what else I could add except that he lived life fully, had a heart of gold, a wonderful wit and an infectious laugh that he shared frequently. He taught us all how to live ~ and die ~ with grace and is sorely missed!
