Richard Edwin Bingham, age 77, retired from the Gaming Industry in Nevada Casinos of 35yrs in which he was one of the best in his field. He was a 3rd Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo Karate. He was a mechanic when he was a young man, and an avid Naturalist till the end. He healed many people & saved a few peoples lives with his knowledge of natural healing. He worked hard all his life to keep his family together, and make sure we were all taken care of and succeed in life, and to retire to Hawaii, buy property and build a house to be able to leave his children something to enjoy, and he did just that, he achieved his goals, hopes and dreams. He passed away on Friday January 18th 2019 in Hilo, HI. He just simply had no fight left, he was tired, and his heart gave out. He passed from a Pulmonary Embolism, contributing causes: blood clot, diabetes, & congestive heart failure. He went home to our Lord, with step daughter, Lila by his side, holding his hand. Did not feel pain, just went to sleep, was a peaceful passing, following a very hard last few years of pain, suffering, fighting to stay strong and health problems. He was a very proud & prideful man. He was hard as steel when done wrong, yet soft, kind & tender. He was the greatest Man, Son, Father, Grandfather, Great Grandfather, Brother, Friend, Husband and Life Partner, in the whole world! He was, is, and always will be so very loved and missed, till the end of time, by everyone who was blessed to have known him.
