A life full of adventure: Richard Secrist Bubb dies at the age of 95

On June 16, 2025, Richard Secrist Bubb died at the age of 95, a man whose life story was impressive and multifaceted. Born on January 12, 1930, Richard leaves behind not only his life's work but also a large family: his parents Mark and Irene Bubb and his wives Carol JoAnn and Margorie. The latter was his partner for over 30 years until her death in 2018. His family life is particularly impressive, as Richard leaves behind three children, six grandchildren and several great-grandchildren, all of whom will fondly remember him as “Papa” or “Grandpa”.

Richard Secrist Bubb was not only an active member of the family, but also a remarkable soldier. He served as a military policeman in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. This is an aspect that is important in today's time of thoughtful treatment of military tradition and history. As Politics Culture emphasizes, an awareness of history is necessary to enable responsible action in the here and now. The Bundeswehr, for example, has made it its mission to remember important events and people in German military history and to maintain these traditions in accordance with their values.

A life full of adventure

Richard was known for his joy of life. He loved to go on adventures, whether it was golfing, hunting or snowmobiling. Time with his grandchildren was particularly important to him and he often spent hours at racing events or having breakfast together. These shared experiences remain unforgettable and testify to the great influence he had on the next generation.

But it's not just indoor activities that reflect his diverse interests: Richard's passion for antique cars was legendary. Before he finally worked in his daughter and son-in-law's glass company until shortly before his death, he often cut the conversation with his humor and jokes, which made him very popular in the neighborhood and family.

Farewell and memories

His funeral will take place on July 7, 2025, to which everyone who was close to him is cordially invited. Arrival at 1:15 p.m. is recommended, followed by a procession to the funeral. Overnight parking is recommended to allow everyone to say goodbye with dignity. The ceremony will be followed by celebrations at the Linglestown American Legion to honor the life and memories of Richard Secrist Bubb.

Anyone who knew Richard knows that he didn't want flowers, but rather donations to a charity so that he could continue to do good. This is a nice way to carry on your legacy and remember the person who gave so much.

Richard Secrist Bubb leaves behind a significant legacy of memories, adventure and love that his family and friends will always carry in their hearts.
