Richard was born on July 22, 1956, to Richard and Helen Buseck. Born in Brooklyn, New York, he grew up in Long Island where he graduated from General Douglas MacArthur High School.

He spent the rest of his time traveling and caring for his parents in NY.

Richard, “The Goat” was a sports fanatic, a Fantasy Football champion and The Commish. He was a great father, coach, and comedian. Going to his children’s and grandchildren’s sporting events was one of the highlights of his life. Being with family and cheering on the kids were certainly happy times for all of them.
