Richard "Richie" Frank Billingham , age 72, born October 25, 1945 in Orlando, Florida, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Wednesday, February 7, at Florida Hospital Altamonte.

Richie attended school at Winter Park High School and Georgia Southern until he was drafted into the United States Army as Military Police/ Vietnam.

Richie was a quiet patient man with a dry wit and a heart of gold, and loved more than anything spending time with his family. He also enjoyed fishing and could spend all day just waiting to catch that "big one". He was a wonderful, loving, and caring husband to Suzanne Nave Billingham, father to Richie Billingham, Jr., and Amy Billingham Wilson (Jerry) and "Pop Pop" to Trevor, Sadie, and Cooper Wilson. He also is survived by Jack Billingham (Jolene) and Judy Billingham Crawford (Duncan) and several other nieces and nephews, and loving family and friends.

A memorial service celebrating the life of Richie will be held Saturday, February 24, 2018 ~ 1:00 pm at Faith Outreach Church in Oviedo, Florida.
