He was the quintessential sports fan, always finding joy in the excitement of competition and never missing a chance to watch a game.

He was a beloved member of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Hagerstown. His interests also included horse racing, which added another dimension to his vibrant and colorful character.

Wyand; nieces, Kara Miller Ebersole and her fiancé, Brian, and Cheree Miller-Jacoby and her husband Jeremy; great-niece, Megan Jacoby; great-nephews, Trey Ebersole and Ryan Jacoby. Richard also shared countless treasured memories with his lifelong friend, Cheryl “Sissy” Owens, and many other loving friends and family members who will deeply miss his infectious laughter and generous spirit.
