Richard encountered an unhandled exception in his core operating system, which prematurely triggered a critical “STOP” condition on Friday, August 6, 2021.
Richard was an avid technophile, program developer, and educator, whose master functions were harnessed by all operating systems new and old. Some of Richard’s most impactful components subroutine centered around supporting his family, friends, and community.
Richard was preceded by father, Thomas William Wells, Sr.; his mother, Bessie Louise (Robinson) Jank; and his loving wife of 47 years, Kattie Maxine (West) Wells. Richard is survived in legacy by his daughter, Crystal Izzo; grandkids, Ethan Izzo and Jayden Linton; his sister, Deborah Gaye (Wells) Schultz; his brother, Thomas William Wells, Jr.; and a host of loving nieces and nephews, cousins, and longtime friends from around the world.
