Richard was in the Delt (1967) Pledge Class with me. He was very well liked and a great friend. We shared trips to Ft. Lauderdale for the wedding of our Delt brother Gary Robinson, to Miami to stay at the Palm Bay Club and to Detroit to visit the home of my roommate, John Wineman. There were also a plethora of social activities we attended together, e.g. beers at the Brown Jug, meals at the shelter, a touch football game with the Theta pledge class, an early (and cold) spring swim in a reservoir with some pretty sorrority ladies...I was lucky to have known Dick and to have had these special youthful memories with him. I was saddened to learn of his passing. He will be missed by all those who were fortunate to have known him.
Following is an excerpt from his obituary. Richard was born in Orange, N.J., and resided in Millburn for 35 years. He graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University with a B.A. in history in 1971. Richard served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War and was a tanker broker with Poten & Partners, New York City, N.Y., from 1973 to 2013, when he retired. Richard was a deacon at Wyoming Presbyterian Church.
He was the beloved husband of Katherine Langrall Innis; devoted father of Maren Harris and her husband, David; Elizabeth Keat and her husband, Michael, and Amanda Innis; loving grandfather of Jordan Walter and Scott Matthew Harris and Evelynn Kathy and Maxwell Innis Keat, and brother of Paul Innis.
