Richard Edward Milovicz
While holding the hand of family, Richard Edward Milovicz passed away peacefully on November 30, 2013 to join his beloveds, brother, Stephen C. Milovicz, niece, Kimmy McCarthy, and dog, Bo.
Rich was born November 23, 1948, the middle child of the late Stephen A. and Catherine Milovicz, in Manlius, NY. He served proudly as a sonarman in the United States Navy, achieving the rank of first class petty (coat) officer by the age of 23. He graduated with high honors from N.C. State, a chemical engineer, and retired from a full career at Proctor & Gamble in Baltimore, MD. Rich loved golf and had a penchant for rescuing stray animals.
He had a daughter of whom he was very proud, and she is unceasingly grateful for the father who taught her algebra at 3, gifted her confidence and strength through his steadfast love, showed her how to be honest and empathetic, and passed down a penchant for rescuing stray animals.
He is survived by his daughter, Leigh Barton and her mother, Sue Milovicz, his sister, Kathie Brunken, sister-in-law, Diane Milovicz, godmother, Mary McWilliams, dog, Jasper, cat, Rain, and numerous friends.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 4:30pm Tuesday, December 3, 2013, at Andrews Market Street Chapel with Chaplain Anne Gordon officiating. The family will greet friends before and after the service starting at 4:00pm.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in his name may be made to New Hanover County Humane Society, 2405 N. 23rd Street, Wilmington, NC 28401.
