Richard Michael Zimic, 88, died on April 21, 2017, in Covington, LA. 

He was born in Queens, NY to Michael and Antoinette Zimic. Richard moved to 
Miami as a young man, and he graduated from Miami Beach High School in 1947. He 
received a B.S. in Business at the University of Miami.

Richard spent 37 years in Huntington, Long Island, where he raised his family 
and was a sailing enthusiast at the Sagamore Yacht Club. After moving back to 
Florida in 1993, Richard became an avid Master Gardener and Rosarian. He served 
as president of the Marion County Rose Society and was also an active volunteer 
at the University of Florida Agricultural Extension Office. In his later years, 
Richard, a nine-time marathon runner, enjoyed walking every morning with his 
local walking club.

Richard was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 50 years Frances, his 
siblings Antoinette Zimic, Marie Lanthier and Emil Zimic, and granddaughter 
Jesikah Schierenberg.
Richard is survived by his adoring children Margaret de Laureal, Tricia Zimic,
