It is with great sorrow that we announce the heartbreaking, unexpected passing of Richard Anthony Czata, who passed away before his time on March 18th, at only 73 years young. He was the beloved husband of Patricia, his wife of 51 years, and the most amazing loving father, who will be sadly missed by his children, Steve (Christine), Teresa and Michael (Jennie) and his grandchildren Evan, Lauren, Michaela, Cadence, Ethan and Addison. "He was a true charm of a man, in all of his roles in his life". He befriended and touched the lives of many, served his community as a respected police officer for 29 years and will be loved and missed forever.
