Friends are invited to attend a memorial service Tuesday at the DENGLER & ROBERTS FUNERAL HOME, 3000 Delaware Ave, Kenmore at 5 PM. Richard was a longtime employee of Defender Inc. and a longtime barkeeper that kept smiles on thousands of people who frequented the bars on Allen, Elmwood and Hertel Ave Strips in the 70s & 80s. He was an avid reader of WWII and Civil War History. Flowers gratefully declined. Toasts to his memory are welcome.
