Born June 05, 1948 in Camden, New Jersey, he was a son of the late Richard H. Stallings, Jr. and Marie Nanette (Mathews) Stallings.
Richard was in the U.S. Army Artillery as a Commissioned Officer and was discharged honorably having just been promoted to the rank of Captain. He served in Germany during the Vietnam War, was a Battery Commander at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma where his first two daughters were born. He served with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Greece for a year, then served as an Reserve Officers' Training Corps Instructor at the University of Akron where he earned his Masters in Business Administration and his third daughter was born.
Following his years of military service, he became a manager with Roadway Express, Incorporated where he worked for eighteen years.

Richard was a self-taught gourmet chef where he studied under Julia Child, Mario Batali, Jacques Pepin, and other great chefs through books, magazines, and cooking shows. He loved to prepare creative meals for family and friends. His daughters called Dad with all their cooking questions.
He was a faithful servant at West Shore Evangelical Free Church in Mechanicsburg, helping to lead a fellowship group on Sunday morning, a small-group Bible study on Sunday evening, and a men's small group that met in homes a couple times a month. He was a student of Scripture.
Richard's greatest delight in life was his family.
Surviving is his loving wife of forty years; his daughters; his seven grandchildren; his brother; and, his step-mother.
