| Obituary | 10 August 2020 | 10 August 2020, Greenport, Suffolk County, New York, Horton Mathie Funeral Home Obituary:. Richard F. Novak, June 5, 1925 - August 7, 2020.
Greenport, NY and Gloucester, MA
He went sky diving at age 90. Just a few weeks ago, at age 95, he was speeding around ocean bays in a boat.
Raised in New Jersey, he was drafted into WWII infantry at age 18, and survived shelling in the Vosges Forest, but rarely spoke about the war afterwards. His postwar life led him to Brown University. There he met the love of his life, Joyce, and they married after graduation in 1951.
Over his 40 years working in sales for IBM, and continuing afterwards, Dick and Joyce moved many places, including as far afield as living on a sailboat in St. John, US Virgin Islands. But the home of his heart was overlooking Ipswich Bay in Annisquam, Gloucester, Massachusetts, where he spent as much time as possible re-arranging the coastline boulders and tinkering with old boats, old Cadillacs, old Willys Army jeeps, and a wide variety of other old items- preferably those with motors (working or not)- that he could find in newspaper ads or discarded on curbs around town. He loved to drive, anywhere, anytime- a car, a boat, a bargain. He had a dry sense of humor and loved a good party, a good dog, and a good martini. He imbued his four children with a strong sense of honesty, perspective, and above all, the importance of always comparing gas station prices.
He has joined his beloved wife of 68 years, Joyce B. Novak, his sister Janet N. Pamp, and all of his friends-in-adventure at the eternal cocktail party.
He leaves four children: Christine A. Novak (Venetia Hands), of Orient, NY, Richard S. Novak (Peggy S. Novak) of Sherborn, MA, Thomas D. Novak of Gloucester, MA, and Lisa J. deBurlo (Gilbert Frayer) of Taos, NM, and five grandchildren, as well his special caregiver, Marina Avlakhashvili.

| Death | 24 June 2013 | He died on 24 June 2013 in Frederick, Maryland, |

He was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut in 1929, one month after the start of the Great Depression to Ethel & Clarence Mills. He is survived by his wife of nearly 60 years, Dolores, his son Jim and wife Mary of Frederick, Maryland, and three loving grandchildren Zachary, Alison, & Ashley.
The youngest of five, he learned self-sufficiency at an early age. He grew up on Long Island, New York, graduating from Baldwin High School. He worked for Grumman Aerospace Corporation for 35 years, proudly working on the LEM Lunar Module and F-14 projects, among others. His passion was youth sports, serving as coach, manager, and League President of Baldwin Babe Ruth and Bethpage Little and Babe Ruth Leagues. His love of youth sports continued after moving to Maryland, where he and Dolores attended many years of their grandchildren's' games. His sense of humor and kind heart will be sorely missed by his family and friends. |
