Richard E. Westcott, 86, residing in Milan, passed away Wednesday evening, May 8, 2019 at Ohio Veteran's Home after a brief illness.
Richard was born on April 1, 1933 in Sandusky, OH to the late Paul and Mary (Harmon) Westcott.
Richard graduated from Milan High School in 1951. He was a Veteran of the Air Force who proudly served his country during the Korean War. He began his career as a parts manager for Mead Motor Sales in Norwalk, where he eventually retired from as president of the company after 40 years of service. He was a long time member of the Milan Evangelical Friends Church and the Sandusky Church of the Nazarene. Richard also taught Sunday school for over 50 years. He enjoyed building models, HO Train modeling, woodworking, and reading. His greatest joy was spending time with his family and friends.
He never wavered in his faith of Jesus Christ, and was always in the Word studying and memorizing.
