After Richard left the City of Wilmington, he restored, bought and sold antique clocks. He enjoyed gardening and his many cats that he had throughout his lifetime. He was a direct descendant of President Alexander Hamilton.

He loved trains, working on his antique clocks, eating at Kozy Corner and Mrs. Robino’s. He did a lot of walking because he never owned a car. He was a 65 year resident of Wawaset Park, Wilmington, DE.

He is survived by his cousin, Kim and Judy Stone and their daughter, Kim Hamilton Cook and her husband Remy Cook, all of Fishersville, VA. His very close friends in Wilmington, DE took care of him.
