Richard is also a Veteran of the United States Army, earning the rank of First Lieutenant; he served our country for three years between 1969 and 1972. Richard had many passions; he was an avid long-distance runner, completing dozens of road races and two marathons (including the running of the 100th Boston Marathon). In earlier years, he was a pilot, enjoyed scuba diving, and riding his motorcycles. Richard was most passionate about vintage automobiles, particularly Italian and English cars of the 1950's and 1960's. When not in his garage, working outside with his tractor or out driving his antique cars throughout Concord and Carlisle, Richard could be found racing around Lime Rock Park in Connecticut with other vintage sports car enthusiasts. During his professional career as an attorney, Richard served as Corporation Counsel and head of the Division of Labor Relations for the City of Boston between 1974 and 1979. Richard became Director of Labor Relations for the Massachusetts Port Authority in 1979 and served in that position until his retirement in 2003. Richard also held the position of Director of Risk Management for Massport during his time there. Following his retirement, Richard worked for the Boston Shipping Association as its Executive Director from 2003 until this past June 2018. In 2001, Richard was presented the Cushing-Gavin Award for outstanding management service by the Labor Guild of Boston. Richard is survived by his wife of 22 years Laurie Engdahl and his two children: Kathryn Meyer-McEwen (Spencer) of Harvard, MA, and Spencer Meyer of Carlisle, MA; as well as his beloved puppy Gaston.
