Richard Yosmanovich

Richard Yosmanovich of Quakertown Pennsylvania, a beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend passed away on February 14th, 2025, age 76, at St. Luke's Hospital Bethlehem in Bethlehem, PA.

He was the spouse of Anna Yosmanovich, with whom he shared 47 years of marriage. Born in Brooklyn, NY he was the son of William and Stella Yosmanovich and the younger brother of William Yosmanovich Jr. 

Richard graduated from George Westinghouse High school in Brooklyn and earned his Electrician's diploma. He served our country in the Navy during the Vietnam War and was stationed at New London Naval base. Richard's service was a pivotal time of his life, one which shaped his values and appreciation for his country. He married his wife and best friend, Anna, and together they built a loving family, and achieved their dreams of a strong, close-knit home.

Richard's first career was as a mechanic and he later worked for the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority. He was an entrepreneur who owned a successful TV and Air Conditioning business based in Brooklyn and later started an HVAC business which he owned and operated for over 40 years. 

Richard was passionate about model trains and shared that joy by setting them up for his children and grandchildren during the holidays. An avid reader, he devoured the daily newspapers (sometimes multiple), as well as vintage Archie comic books. His favorite way to relax was watching Tru TV and comedy shows. As a Navy veteran Richard held a deep love for the ocean. He cherished fishing trips with his children and beach vacations with his family. He was a talented and capable general contractor who applied those skills to improve and expand his family home and those of others. 

Richard had a special bond with animals, who returned his affection. He fondly remembered his two dogs who recently passed and leaves behind his special little buddy, Charlie. He was ever amused by his pets, often commenting how his adorable little dog Candy would wake him up every morning. Richard embraced and loved his life in Pennsylvania, surrounded by beautiful farms and scenic country roads. However, he never forgot his Brooklyn roots and often returned to New York City, sharing countless stories and cherished memories of his earlier life there with his wife, Anna, and their family. 

He was a generous father, grandfather and friend who was always willing to give his time and talent to help others. He happily continued to guide and care for his children, even after they had children of their own. He loved celebrating milestones, hosting parties, and feeding his guests, earning the nickname: "host with the most."

He is survived by his spouse, Anna Yosmanovich; and children, Richard Yosmanovich (Karen), Dr. Donna Yosmanovich (Robin), Peter Yosmanovich (Breeanna), and Christine Zevenbergen (Justin); grandchildren, Anastasia, Alexander, Leah, Lucas, Hannah, Tamriel, twins Alessandra and Peter Tiberius II, and Aerith; sister-in-law Theresa Yosmanovich; nephew William Thomas Yosmanovich; and niece Kristin Yosmanovich.
