Obituary
Richard
Carl V.
Carl Richard or "Dud" as he was known to all of his many friends, peacefully passed away on September 4, 2015 surrounded by his loving family. Dud was born on July 15, 1926 in Lima, Ohio to Gene and Grace Richard. The family moved to Toledo in 1941. He graduated from DeVilbiss High School in 1944 where he starred as the quarterback of the football team.
Immediately following his graduation, Dud enlisted in the US Navy where he got to see the world. Ships he served on were stationed in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, Indian and Pacific Oceans where he dutifully served as a gunner on cargo ships. After his discharge he briefly attended the University of Toledo where he played as a defensive back on Rocket football teams. He left the University to go to work for his father's tire and retreading business which became known as Gene Richard and Sons, where he worked with his brother Paul for nearly 50 years.
Dud was quite the entrepreneur as well. He bought his first semi-truck in 1949 and along the way owned two trucking companies, C A transportation operating out of Detroit, MI and P R Transportation Toledo, OH.
Dud married the love of his life, Cathleen O'Connell in 1957. He was a very devoted husband and father. Dud was a long time member of the Board of Directors of N-Viro International Corporation and a member of the Inverness Club where he enjoyed playing golf for over 40 years. His greatest joy was being home with his wife and family.
He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Paul and his wife, Cathleen.
He is survived by his three sons, Philip (Cindy), Gene (Yolanda) and Todd (Lisa) and five grandchildren Kevin, Meghan, Skye, Autumn and Maria.
The family will receive friends at the Foth-Dorfmeyer Mortuary, 3815 Sylvania Ave. (at Woodley Rd.) on Wednesday from 4-7 p.m. A Memorial Funeral Mass will be held on Thursday at 10:30 a.m. at St. Pius X Catholic Church.
The family suggests memorial contributions to Hospice of NW Ohio, St. Pius X School Endowment Fund or the charity of the donor's choice. Online condolences may be left for the family at www.fothdorfmeyer.com
