Richard Angelo Sambenedetto Jr, 49, of Sicklerville, NJ passed away in his home on August 1, 2022. Richard was born to his Mother Florence and his Father Richard Sr in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania on October 25, 1972. Upon graduating from high school, he joined the United States Coast Guard and would go on to serve for 25 years. Over the course of his decorated career, he assumed many roles such as a cook, small arms instructor, logistics officer, and a mentor. Many referred to him as "Mr. Sam", and he carried out his duties to the highest standard possible. In 2005, Richard received the Douglas A Munro Award for Inspirational Leadership. Richard embodied the Coast Guard's core values and encouraged countless others to do the very same. At the end of his career he achieved the rank of Chief Warrant Officer 4. After his career was brought to an end due to medical issues, he was given a service dog, Salvi, who remained by his side every day and assisted him with daily tasks. He was a dedicated Philadelphia sports fan, attending numerous Phillies, Eagles, and Flyers games throughout his life.
