Obituary: Richard John Novak
It is with profound sadness that I share the passing of Richard John Novak, who left us on May 27,2024 at the age of 85. Richard’s legacy will be survived by his three sons, Dean, Robert, and Eric. Four grandchildren also survive. They are Emma, Rydinh, Oliver, and Thorin.
Richard was born in 1939 in Brooklyn, and grew up in Huntington, NY. Richard was a charismatic man of many talents. He loved music, and in his younger days was a drummer for the Three Jays Band. He drove lots of exotic cars and motorcycles. Richard was a hard worker, problem solver, and a creative artist. Richard was best known as a custom home builder. He took great pride in his work and craftsmanship. He has built over 100 unique and amazing homes in his career. He created beautiful homes for countless families to enjoy. As we know home is where the heart is, and Richard proudly built homes with a kind and loving heart. He was loved by many. He has left us, but he will never be forgotten. May Richard rest in peace and be welcomed into the gates of heaven for eternal rest. His burial is alongside his Father, Mother, and Brother at Saint Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale, NY.

My dear friend, I will miss you. Your smile, laughing, the lovely time we shared talking, enjoying music together, the tapping of drum beats with your hands on the table, you just being you, kind hearted always there to help everyone..
May you rest peacefully.
Love

I will miss my dear friend Richard who was a good friend to many. He was faithful loyal caring and quite funny at times. Always going out of his way to help! There is no doubt in my heart that Richard is at home with Jesus. Maybe playing the drums in His Royal band! You are loved my friend!
I pray that God comfort your family and give them the assurance and peace in knowing their Dad is with the Lord in Heaven!

And God shall wipe away tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away....
Your dad touched many people’s lives—mine included. I’m grateful I got the chance to know him.
With my deepest condolences to you and your family.
