​Richard Lee Worster, age 74, of Aubrey passed away Monday, April 27, 2020 at the Veteran Affairs Medical Center in Dallas, Texas after a lengthy battle with kidney and bladder cancer.  He was born December 25, 1945 in Keokuk, Iowa to Hugh Thomas and Inez Mae (Inman) Worster. Richard joined the United States Marine Corps at the young age of 17 and proudly served his country during the Vietnam War.

Richard married Virginia Davis on May 7, 1983 in Odessa, Texas.  They were members of the Amazing Grace Baptist Church of Denton.  Richard spent the first part of his civilian career as a general contractor. He later purchased a recycling business in Lewisville where his customers and employees became family. Richard retired from Almetco Recycling in December of 2007 to enjoy the retired life, travel and spend time with his wife, children, and grandchildren.

Richard never met a stranger and wanted nothing more than to make everyone he came in contact with laugh or smile. He was a selfless, loving man who loved the Lord, served his country proudly, always had great stories and jokes, worked hard, and loved his family. If you knew Richard, you were family. There was love in his heart for everyone and everything. Richard truly was an angel on Earth.
