Richard Eldridge

June 29, 1949 - December 19, 2018

Richard J. Eldridge passed unexpectedly on December 19, 2018. He was born on June 29th, 1949 in Wichita Falls, TX, the son of Jessie and Juanita Robison Eldridge. He is survived by his wife Dorothea Miller Eldridge, daughters Jessica (Jonathan) Komarek, and Jennifer (Richard) Small, and grandchildren Mason and Elena Komarek. He lived his childhood in Southern California, where he gained his love of the ocean. Joining the US Army in 1968, he spent his military career in Air Defense Artillery, acquiring the rank Chief Warrant Officer, maintaining the Nike Hercules Missle System and was instrumental in the initial deployment of PATRIOT Missle System. He continued his work with PATRIOT after his retirement in 1988, with employment in Raytheon's RTSC and IDS Divisions, and was enthusiastic in his logistic work involving the Helenic PATRIOT project. He was passionate about passing his knowledge onto others. He coached and mentored many soldiers in the U.S. Army, young athletes on his daughter's softball teams, and the ambitious workers in Team Rubicon. He enjoyed reading, traveling in his RV, and listening to Jimmy Buffet. His internment at the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please send a donation to TEAM RUBICON at https:/teamrubiconusa.org
