Richard Larry Witten: Namesake

In 1947, the song "Open the Door, Richard" by Jack McVea was #1 on music billboard charts.  Young, Charlie Witten was almost 3 years old and loved to sing this song.  When his new baby brother was born less than a year later, it was only natural for his parents to name the baby Richard.  This sure made little Charlie happy![1]

Here is a list of people that were named after Richard Larry Witten. There may be others that need to be added.

1) Richard Cory Westberg, his nephew and the son of his sister, Beverly Ann Westberg.
2) Richard Alan "Rick" Witten, his son.

Footnotes:
1) From the memory of Bessie Witten, Richard's mother.
