Richard Walter Dennis Jr., 61, passed away on February 4, 2026, in the Philippines. Born on June 12, 1964, in Blossburg, Richard lived a life marked by devotion to his faith, his family, and the many passions that brought him joy.

A proud graduate of Galeton Area High School, Class of 1982, Richard carried with him the values of hard work and community throughout his life. He was a devoted Christian who found strength and purpose in his faith. Whether attending church services in the United States or in the Philippines, Richard remained steadfast in his belief in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Richard shared a deep and abiding love with his wife, Flordeles. Together, they built a life rooted in mutual respect and affection. In their later years, they retired to the Philippines, where Richard embraced a slower pace of life filled with meaningful service. He found great fulfillment volunteering within both his local community and church.

Those who knew Richard will remember his generous spirit and vibrant personality. He had an immense love for animals – especially his cherished fur babies, Hachi and Dora – and took great pride in caring for the cows on his farm. A gifted chef, Richard’s culinary talents were well known among family and friends; cooking was not just a hobby but an expression of love.

Richard was a beloved husband, son, and brother. He is survived by his wife, Flordeles; his mother, Leila Clark; sisters, Audrey Ward, Maxine Newberry (Dann), and Darlene Dennis (Alex); nieces, Danielle, Lesley, and Nicole; nephews, Daniel (Holly) and Kyle (Devan). He was preceded in death by his father, Richard W. Dennis Sr.

Richard’s legacy is one of faith, kindness, and wholehearted living. May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him and continue to inspire acts of love and service.
