Joshua was born on March 1, 1969 to Francine Richter and the late Michael Richter. He was the brother of Rachel (Elliot) Rabinovich and the uncle of Jacob. Josh was born in the Philadelphia area and raised both in Cherry Hill, NJ and Ra’anana, Israel. He graduated from Temple University and was a proud member of AEP. Josh loved all sports but his passion was golf and specifically any- thing that had to do with Tiger Woods. Josh lived long enough to see Tiger’s comeback to win the Masters as well as his beloved Eagles win the Superbowl. Josh’s other love was writing. Reading his journal has enabled us to understand Josh’s lifelong struggle with depression and anxiety. Donations in memory of Joshua Richter can be made to either two organizations: The First Tee of Phoenix in support of their First Tee DRIVE program, introducing the game of golf schol- arships. Gifts can be made by phone 602- 305-7655 or thefirstteephoenix.org/donate (please use the notes section to indicate in memory of Josh Richter) or sent via US mail to The First Tee of Phoenix, 3837 E.
