The Wall family made their way from Rockingham, NC to Rochester, NY in 1959 where Richard attended school #3 and James Madison High School. Richard, affectionately known as "Butch" was a dedicated and hardworking man who worked for H&H delivery, Portland Avenue Tire Shop, and due to the progression of vision loss; he worked for ABVI Goodwill as a fulfillment clerk, then later retired as a shipping supervisor.
If Butch missed and family gathering, it was due to his love of traveling. He enjoyed fishing trips, baking his favorite sweets and calling his children and siblings to brag about how they "can't get none." Butch loved his mother dearly, called her daily; and there was nothing he wouldn't do for her. He would argue that, "that's my mommy" to anyone. A big kid at heart, who will truly be missed.
