Richard P. Buskell ’65 passed away on April 7, 2020. Dick was instrumental in successfully securing financing for our house at 413 E. Roanoke Street at a time when banks would lend money to undergraduate fraternities! Dick was CEO of Spectrum Development in Vienna, Virginia, responsible for managing all aspects of the firm’s development projects, including property acquisitions, entitlements, legal, accounting, site engineering, and construction. Dick received a B.S. in accounting from Virginia Tech University and a J.D. from the Georgetown University School of Law. He was a Certified Public Accountant and had been admitted to the Virginia Bar. Prior to beginning his career in real estate, Dick was a founding partner at two DC law firms, and was a partner and senior tax accountant at a nationally recognized accounting firm. Given our current public health crisis, the family has not announced plans for a memorial service.
