          Richard was born September 9, 1952, the son of the late Charles Richard & Vera Linch Leveck Sr.   He grew up in Spring Lake, NJ, and graduated from the Manasquan High School, a member of the class of 1970.  As a natural athlete from the Jersey Shore, he was a lifeguard and surfer. He was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds out of high school. He was awarded a double scholarship from Penn State, for baseball and football. He played under the legendary Joe Paterno. He remained an avid sports fan, supporting the NY Giants and NY Mets.

A top producer, he retired from auto and truck sales in 2004. He was an American History major with a huge love for history, especially the Civil War. He was a founding member of First Legion PACS, a 501(c)(3) Civil War reenacting organization, serving as corporate secretary and chief of staff to General Greg Bair. Richie was a gifted musician who played the organ and keyboard. He was always humming or singing, with vast musical tastes ranging from classic rock to Broadway and Disney music.
