Richard R. Maggio, “Ricky”, age 55 of Royal Palm Beach, Florida, formerly of Wayne, died on Thursday, March 5, 2009.

He was born in Paterson and lived in Wayne for most of his life. He graduated from Wayne Valley High School, where he had played football and was a skier, with the class of 1972. He later graduated from New Jersey Institute of Technology with an Associate’s degree in Engineering. He was employed with Steamfitters Local 274 in Jersey City for nearly twenty four years before moving to Florida in 1998. He has since been working as a construction manager with his brother, Ronald, in Florida.

Richard was also a proud member of the Preakness Volunteer Fire Company #4 in Wayne for many years before he moved to Florida.

Richard was an avid fisherman and truly enjoyed all the fishing opportunities that Florida had to offer. He had fished all over, including Cape Cod, shark fishing out of Montauk, and the Florida Keys. As a boy, he spent his summer vacation on LBI, in Surf City, which is where he probably picked up his love for surfing too. He was extremely intelligent, could fix just about anything, and would gladly help anyone in need. Richard was always the ‘life of the party’ and he sure knew how to enjoy himself. He recently said to his brother; “I’ve lived life my way and it doesn’t owe me anything.”

Richard is survived by his daughter Ashley and her mother Susan C. Maggio of Mertztown, PA, his parents; Thomas and Evelyn Maggio of Wayne, one sister; Donna Maggio-Ash and her husband William of Wayne, two brothers; Thomas Maggio of Wayne and Ronald Maggio and his wife Susan of Wellington, FL, and many nieces, nephews, and close friends.
