                                                                                                                                                                             John Richmond peacefully passed away at his home on October 7, 2020. John was lovingly cared for by his family as his strength weakened over the last months from congestive heart failure. 


"Big John" was a pillar of our sailing club for many years. With a smile and a twinkle in his eye, he was quick to help others. He spent plenty of time giving us a hand as we were starting out in the sport of rc sailboats. Who can forget John's garage shop?


John's craftsmanship was legendary and his boats provided an example of what we should aim for. His handmade hardware was polished like jewelry. His electronic boards were neatly finished and always worked (unlike some of ours). His sheeting systems were mechanical marvels that performed flawlessly. His radio system was programmed. His rig was easily adjustable.


Many components that John invented and generously shared with our sailers were made on his lathe -- spiral winding drum spools (before they were available from other manufacturers), hand-cranked scoring rollers to make simulated plank decks, double-mounted side stays that prevented the side stay wires from tangling, light weight boom vangs, and the list could go on and on.


John's painting abilities were incredible. He was constantly inventing new decorative schemes, including designs on the sails. He painted many boats for other sailors, but I think he was happy to sell his boats just so he could make and paint another one! I have included photos of just a few of his many boats.


John was a ham radio operator and developed a pattern of late night hours so he could keep in touch with ham operators around the world. He built hot rods and raced rc powerboats before falling in love with rc sailboats. He had working models of paddle wheel river boats, tug boats, schooners, and many classes of sailboats,

                                                                                                                                                                                      Conley, Brendan <bconley@macleanpower.com>To:bob@armbrusterco.com,rwienke@comcast.net,thorsail@att.net,youngrun@sbcglobal.net,rmieling@sbcglobal.netSat, Apr 11 at 8:36 PMI am sending this email with sad news for the Chicago RC Model Yacht Club family…..

On Thursday 4/9, my Dad (John) passed away, suddenly. He was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer of the stomach and liver approximately 1 month ago. He started a very aggressive treatment regimen on 3/25. As expected he fell very ill from side effects on 4/2. On 4/6 his condition deteriorated to a point where he required hospitalization. It was at that point we discovered he had developed an abdominal infection that had gone septic into his blood stream. He spent the next few days in the ICU. The medication required to elevate his blood pressure and allow him to stay alive was exceeding what his heart could handle. That last three days allowed my Dad to spend great time with myself and my older brother (Sean). He was awake and 100% himself. Great sense of humor and full control of his mental faculties. On Wednesday, after realizing that death was inevitable, he chose to control his own destiny and ceased the heart medication. He died peacefully at 230am on 4/9 with family by his side.
