McSPADDEN Richard A., 71, of Annandale, VA passed away on Thursday, May 28, 2009 at Virginia Hospital Center surrounded by his loving family. Born in New London, CT on January 26, 1938 to the late LT. Joseph and Eva McSpadden. Following the family path of his father and brothers he chose to join the United States Navy. In 1956 Richard reported onboard the Submarine USS Trigger SS564 as an Electricians Mate. For the next five years, he participated in some very memorable operations including trips to and under the polar ice cap, North Atlantic and Northern European patrols to keep watch on the Kola Peninsula during the heat of our cold war with the Soviet Union. In later years, his devotion to his old submarine shipmates was very instrumental in helping to locate and contact long lost Trigger crew members and to conduct the first very successful Trigger Reunion in 2004 in Charleston, SC. Most of these men had not seen each other for over 40 years and they will miss his presence at future gatherings tremendously. After his service as a submariner, he flourished in the crane and steel/precast erection business since the early 1960''s. His passions in life included hunting and tournament bill fishing in the Florida Keys. Loving husband of Toni; devoted father of Ricky McSpadden, Jr. (Renee) Mobile, AL, Cheryl Adkins (Curt) Edinberg, VA, Vicki Waddle (Bobby) Manassas, VA, Frankie McSpadden Gainesville, VA, Janie Rutherford (Jeff) Aldie, VA and Tommy McSpadden (Toni) Front Royal, VA; brother of William McSpadden. 18 grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren.
