Richard B. Frew, age 83, of Bel Air, Maryland, passed away peacefully on Saturday, October 4, 2025. Born in Edgewood, Maryland, he was the son of the late Thomas Lewellyn Frew Sr. and Florence May (Timmons) Frew.
Richard was the beloved husband of Patricia Ann (Sills) Frew, with whom he shared 60 wonderful years of marriage. Together they built a life centered on love, laughter, and family.
He is survived by his devoted wife, Patricia; his loving children, Diana (Michael) Gallagher, Jeffrey Frew, and Lisa (Mike) Paredes; cherished grandchildren, Christopher Gallagher, Dylan Gallagher, Sarah Gallagher, Olivia Paredes, and Rachel Paredes; and his dear sisters, Nancy (Bob) Angert, Patricia (Dave) Robbins, Deborah (Gene) Preston and sister-in-law Millie Frew.
In addition to his parents, Richard was preceded in death by his brothers, Thomas Frew Jr., Barney and BJ Frew, Russell Frew, and Stanley and Helen Frew, and his sister, Jeanne and Jack Keely.
Richard was a huge NASCAR fan who loved the thrill of the races and the camaraderie of fellow fans. He had a deep passion for his two classic cars—a 1937 Chevy Coupe and a 1962 Chevy Bel Air—and enjoyed attending car cruises and shows. He also loved spending time at the beach, going out to dinner with family, watching the Ravens and Orioles with Patricia and celebrating family holiday gatherings, which were some of his favorite times of the year.
Richard will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him.
