    Richard McKechnie

    September 27, 1944 - April 26, 2019

    Richard D. McKechnie, age 74, a longtime resident of Putnam Valley, passed away on April 26, 2019. Richie, as he was affectionately known to friends and family, was born on September 27, 1944 to Dick and Alice McKechnie. As the eldest son of six children Richie became a role model and father-figure to his siblings at a young age, a trait which he continued throughout his life to many family members, friends and colleagues. He married his loving wife Sandra, who passed away in 2018, in 1966 and together they had their son Brian in 1975. Richie started his own mechanical contracting business in 1978 and worked with dogged determination to turn it into a successful and long-running company, into which he proudly welcomed his son in 2003. Richie is survived by his son Brian, his wife Rebecca and their two sons Jake and Alexander, who lovingly referred to Richie as “Pop Pop”. He is also survived by his brothers Andrew, Roger and Jonathan, his sister Janie, and his nieces and nephew Sara, Alicia, Nicholas and Delaney. Richie is predeceased by his brother Timmy, who passed in 2014. Richie was a dedicated, hardworking, quick-witted, problem-solving, and loving gentleman who will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
