Richard Walker Ewing, 74
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Richard Walker Ewing of Daytona Beach passed away peacefully Wednesday, March 14, 2007, in his home, surrounded by his family after a long illness. He was 74.
Mr. Ewing was the son of the late J. Benjamin Ewing and Gertrude Morgan Ewing, the grandson of Benjamin B. and Catherine Lingo Ewing of Rehoboth Beach and the grandson of W. Y. and Clara Morgan of Warsaw, Va.
A native of Rehoboth Beach, he joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 1952, and was attached to the Marine Embassy Guard. His duties included security detail for former Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and he accompanied Secretary Dulles to NATO conferences throughout Europe. Later, he was assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Vienna, Austria, where he met his wife, Fran, a staff member of the Embassy. They were married in the Hofburgkapelle, the Imperial Palace. The Vienna Boys Choir sang at the ceremony.
They returned stateside and settled in northern Virginia, where they raised five girls.
After discharge from the Marines, he became a police officer in Arlington County, and later a business owner. In 1994 they moved to Daytona Beach where Mr. Ewing enjoyed painting, fishing with his wife and friends and socializing with the wonderful friends they made in the area.
Those who will lovingly remember him include his wife of nearly 50 years, Fran; his daughters and sons-in-law, Suzanne Ewing and Tripp Kline, Julie Ewing, K-Lee Ewing, all of Pennsylvania, Robin and David Smith of Maryland and Trudi and Brad Vogel of Port Orange; a brother, State Rep. J. Benjamin Ewing, Jr. of Bridgeville, Del.; a sister, Kathryn Ewing Brewer of Stuart, Fla.; four grandchildren, Jessica, Kayla, Tyler and Emily.
A memorial Mass will be 8:30 a.m. Friday in Our Lady of Hope Catholic Church, 4675 S. Clyde Morris Blvd, Port Orange.
Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of Volusia/Flagler, 3800 Woodbriar Trail, Port Orange, FL 32129.
