Richard Doctor

Richard Doctor, 75, passed away July 17 at Butler Memorial Hospital.

Richard was born April 1, 1941, in Highfield, Pa., where he grew up. He was a graduate of Butler High School and attended Penn Technical Institute.

Richard was known by his friends as “Doc.” He spent much time riding his bicycle year round in Butler, mostly around the West End area in Lyndora. Doc enjoyed sitting on his front porch with his dog and cats and visiting with whoever stopped by. He enjoyed television, keeping up with the news and talking about science and politics. He also enjoyed cooking for his friends.

Doc had a big heart. He loved people, and they loved him. His life will be missed by many.

Richard was preceded in death by his brother, Robert; and his parents, Ann and Geza Doctor.

He is survived by his daughter, Paige; two sisters, Diana M. (David) Bennett of Renfrew and Judy (Gary) A. Fleeger of Renfrew; and his nieces and nephews.

Any donations may be made to the Butler County Humane Society.
