Richard S. Moy

“

Richard found his greatest joy in life’s simplest pleasures, trading the busy restaurant environment for quiet mornings in Rhode Island riding his bike and walking the beach.

Richard grew up in Boston, MA. He attended Wentworth Institute of Technology (‘68) and UMass Lowell (‘70), and earned a degree in mechanical engineering. Richard worked at Foster Grant, helping develop the first transition lenses. Richard then pursued his true passion for entrepreneurship, ultimately becoming a restaurateur, co-owning Peking Kitchen and Emperor of China Restaurant. Richard proudly worked alongside his father, brothers, and other family members for over 10 years.

Later in life, he found his greatest joy in life’s simplest pleasures, trading the busy restaurant environment for quiet mornings in Rhode Island riding his bike and walking the beach. Richard enjoyed eating seafood, spending time with family, and was always quick to tell a story that was filled with humor or a life lesson.

Richard was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Yu Sheung Moy and Choi Chi Moy. He leaves behind his two brothers, Daniel Moy and his wife Heidi, and their three children, Karen, Kristin, and Kevin; and his younger brother, Wai Moy. Richard is also survived by many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, cousins, aunts, and dear friends throughout Massachusetts, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Chicago, California, and Toronto, Canada.

A visitation will be held Monday, November 2, at Mercadante Funeral Home & Chapel, 370 Plantation St, Worcester, MA at 11:00 AM.
