of the late John and Grace Haddad.
He was the husband of Valorie Townsend Haddad, his wife of
35 years. Rich was a loving husband, a proud dad and a very proud grandpa. He
was a good man, an honest man, a hard worker and a man you could rely on.
In addition to his wife Valorie, Richard is survived by his
children:
Steven Haddad and his wife Tiffany, of Basalt, CO,
Jason Haddad and his wife Hilary of Atlanta, GA,
Erin Haddad of Westminster, MD,
Ashleigh Haddad and her husband Nick Morrison of Baltimore,
Jonathan Haddad and his wife Mary of Westminster;
And his four grandchildren Sebastian and Luca Del Cid, and
Alex and Jake Haddad; and two brothers Ronald Haddad of Tarpon Springs, FL and
Robert Haddad of Chapel Hill, NC; five nieces and nephews; and his first wife
Janet Haddad of Columbia, MD.
Over the span of his 48 year career, Richard managed support
services functions such as human resources and information systems for
organizations in industries including banking, utilities, and healthcare.
For several years, he also provided services in
organizational development and strategic planning as an independent consultant,
and for five years was the President of the Carroll County (MD) Chamber of
Commerce.
He was heavily involved in civic and community activities,
serving on the Howard County (MD) Human Rights Commission, and on the board of
directors or advisory council of fourteen other organizations including the
Carroll County (MD) Public Schools Business Roundtable and the Rotary Club of
Bonds Meadow.
He was a co-founder and for several years the Executive
Director of Free Men, a national non-profit educational organization dedicated
to raising awareness of the ways in which traditional gender roles limit men as
well as women.
He also advocated in a number of capacities for individuals
with developmental disabilities, at one point serving as Maryland State
Coordinator for the national organization, Voice of the Retarded (VOR).
Richard wrote extensively; essays and opinion articles on
social issues as well as book reviews, fiction, satire and poetry. His work was
published in newspapers including the Baltimore Sun and the Washington Times;
in periodicals including the Baltimore Business Journal, on websites including
American Thinker and in anthologies.
For several years he also edited and published American Man,
a periodical devoted to a serious exploration of the male gender role and the
male experience.
In reflecting on his career, his writing, his involvement in
men’s issues and in community activities, Richard would frequently remark that
the greatest accomplishment was raising his five children to be the good people
they became.
