In Memoriam
Richard Holmes | 1932-2021
By friends of
the deceased
Richard was
a lifelong
resident of
Wichita and
one of the
best bridge
players in
Kansas. When
he died the morning of Feb. 18
at the young age of 89, Richard
was a Platinum Life Master with
a well-earned total of 12,898
masterpoints.
His niece, Tricia Holmes,
said her uncle never married or
had children, but he had many
adopted grandchildren all over
town, including among the
Shibley family and the staff at
the Doo-Dah Diner. " He was brilliant, "
Tricia said, " a mathematical
genius and a master bridge
player. Until the pandemic hit,
he was still playing bridge five
days a week and even authored a
bridge column for a local bridge
newsletter. "
On March 11, 2020, Richard
and his long-time friend and
partner Jeanne Houghton won
at the local club, and Richard
told her that he was very satisfied
with his last game he would
probably play. Three days later,
all face-to-face bridge was
suspended due to COVID-19.
Richard's prediction came true
as he never played another game.
Richard left behind scores of
friends and well-wishers. He
was a fantastic bridge player
and a true gentleman who will
be missed dearly by his bridge
community.
