Date of Birth 26 August 1949, Portsmouth, Virginia, USA
Date of Death 8 July 2014, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA (lung cancer)
Birth Name Richard James Cowsill, known as "Dickie" to the rest of the family.
Richard was married to Pamela Lynne Wendur then to Susan Montella.
Spouse 1:
Pamela Lynne Wendur (? - 2 August 1983) (divorced with 2 children)
Spouse 2:
Susan Montella (? - 8 July 2014) (1 child)
Brother of Bill Cowsill, Bob Cowsill (Richards twin), Paul Cowsill, Barry Cowsill, John Cowsill and Susan Cowsill.
Son of Barbara Cowsill and Bud Cowsill.
The Cowsills were born to a US Navy dad. The dad (Bud) and mom managed the group after Bud retired from the military.
After several tv specials, the Cowsills were approached by ABC to do a weekly television series. However, they declined, and ABC created "the Partridge Family" show based on the Cowsills.
Richard was the road manager for the famous group. He left because of his abusive dad and served in Vietnam for 3 tours of duty. His dad would not let him perform with the rest of his music family, but he got to perform with them a few times later on when the dad was not around.
Dickie had been diagnosed with Stage 3 and later 4 lung cancer and unfortunately, chemotherapy failed.
