On Monday, September 24, 2018, Richard (Rick) Steinmetz beloved husband and
Father, had passed away suddenly at his home battling rare illnesses at the age of 65.
Rick was born 1952 in Philadelphia to the late Edward and Eleanor (Gregoria) Steinmetz.

Rick worked mostly his entire life in the Newspaper Industry retiring after 27 years in 2013 as Circulation Director for the Courier Post Newspaper in NJ.
He was a Member of the American Legion Post PA 0242.
Rick was a loyal Phillies and Eagles fan through and through and loved getting Diamond Box seats to bring his friends & family.
He loved gatherings with his family and friends, Taking a lot of trips, Relaxing on the Front Porch rocker gazing out over our property, Rehashing stories, Cutting his lawn, Admiring his son how he was so talented, his job, and hanging out with his Dogs (Eddie and Casey).
Rick was a compassionate man with heart of gold, A True Leader in his job, mentor to many, and Quite a character you would never ever forget from the moment you met him. He was always upbeat with a smile on his face and a positive attitude.
