Dale Michael Richards (1942-2024) passed away on Nov. 16 peacefully at the home he built after a short but fierce battle with cancer. He was surrounded by family and friends and left this world to reunite with his wife Elizabeth E. Richards (1945-2021), the love of his life. He is survived by three children, Lindsay S. Richards, Ian W. Richards and Carrie A. Richards; as well as his sister Roberta Brown and many other loved cousins, nieces, nephews, friends and of course his dog Boris.
Dale was born to Robert W. Richards and Pearl A. Kahler on Jan. 4, 1942, in Columbia, Pa. He spent his childhood in Pennsylvania and after his mother's passing as a teenager he was a stepson to Alma May Michal Richards, whom he always considered a second mother. He went on to proudly join the Army from 1962-65, which gave him an enormous amount of pride throughout his life.
