It is with deep sorrow that we remember the life of Richard Plutzer, a beloved husband, father, mentor, and cherished member of the Plainview and Mohegan Lake, New York communities, who passed away peacefully in early February 2026. His passing has left an indelible void in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Richard was a man defined by integrity, compassion, and quiet strength. To his family, he was a steadfast source of love and guidance—a devoted husband whose partnership was rooted in respect and unwavering support, and a proud father who led by example. He believed in the power of hard work, kindness, and humility, values he instilled in those closest to him every day.

Beyond his family, Richard’s presence was deeply felt throughout Plainview and Mohegan Lake. He was known not only for his professional dedication but also for his willingness to lend a helping hand, offer thoughtful advice, or simply listen. As a mentor, he inspired others to pursue their goals with determination and integrity. Many credit him with shaping their paths, both personally and professionally.
