Richard was born on December 12, 1934 in Riverdale, NY, and was raised there. He was a Corporal in the United States Marine Corp, and served from 1953-1961 on the U.S.S. Valley Forge CV-45.
He was a loving husband to Mary Joan (Higgins) who previously passed away in 1997. He was a loving father to a son, Richard V. Wilson, Jr. of Beacon, NY, and a daughter, Suzanne of Cary, NC.
