Joseph Richard Schlauch

Joseph Richard Schlauch, known mostly as Richard to family and friends, passed peacefully on March 13th at the age of 81. He was a public school teacher for over 35 years and an avid photographer for over 60. He was always ready with a joke or quip to lighten a mood or ease conversation, and was known as the family historian for his massive effort to collect and organize over 100 years of pictures and anecdotes for his remaining family members. He is survived by his loving partner Priscilla Devine, his children Alexandra and Gregory and their mother Carol, his stepdaughter Justine, step daughter-in-law Intensity, and grandchildren Gemma and Tatiana Schlauch, Ryan and Connor O'Keefe, and Amen McKee (who all affectionately knew him as their Grandpa Chubba).

He will be forever missed by those he left behind.
