MARK RICHERT Obituary

I didn´t know Mark but I worked at Chucks Steak House in La Jolla in the 1970s. It is forever etched in my my mind and heart as a truly special place. Excellent food, atmosphere, and best live music. A band called Zzaj, jazz spelled backwards, was absolutely spectacular. Bless Mark for creating such a perfect place. Condolences to his family. End of an era. God bless.

To the Hunk of my Bunk...

In 10 days it will be one year since you went away. There isn´t a day that goes by that I do not think of you, feeling the love I have and will always have for you my sweet, sweet man.

I´m not sure it´ll get easier. I´m hoping... I´m a little stuck and I need to keep moving. You would expect that. I expect that but it´s difficult.
I have so many wonderful memories. We had a great life together. I am forever grateful for the love you showed me and the life we shared.
Thank you Sweetheart!

Your loving wife

Dearest Mark, I will always be warmed by your memory. Your love and commitment to the beat of your heart, Faye, was beautiful to witness. Your smile was the brightest star in any room your presence stood. I am truly blessed to have known you. We will keep an eye on Faye while you watch from above! Much Love, Deanna & Betsy.

Mark Richert was a man's man. Arriving in California in 1959, he built the first California Chuck's Steak House. After opening 3rd Street in L.A., Westwood, and Marina Del Rey, moved to La Jolla in 1963.
He never left his beloved La Jolla. Chucks Steak House became a favorite on Proscpect street for thirty years. Mark was a Instrumented multi-engine pilot and owned and orperated 17 Red Baron Steak Houses. He led through example of honesty and hard work. He will be missed by many who he mentored and helped. Including me. He taught me spear fishing, hunting , boating , sailing, and how to lead through example of hard work.

Sincerly Missed,
Condolences to his wife Deborah Faye Richert
and his son Justin Richert

What great memories come flooding back regarding my lifelong mentor and friend. Mark helped shape my life and beliefs by his example and I feel so fortunate to have had the advantage of sharing time on earth with him.

I had the pleasure of making a few sailboat trips with Mark and his buddy Curt Slater. Two of the best people to be with on a sailboat. Also, I had the pleasure to work a little with Mark. Great person, could fix anything. A legend among men !

Mark was my long-time handyman. He brightened my life with his big smile and cheeky comments. I will miss him very much.

Mark was one of the best men I have ever met. I appreciate the time I spent with him.

Mark was a hard working, friendly and fun loving man who could "fix anything". It was a real pleasure to have known him.
With deepest sympathy.

Just the other day we were reminiscing about the "good old days" working at Chuck´s steak house in LaJolla. We all remembered Mark Richert, the owner who was super nice and low key, someone to look up to and whom made us all feel like we were one big family. Those were wonderful times, the regular customers, the live jazz and great food. Thanks for the opportunity to make some lifelong friends, earn some money, and get through college. Condolences to your family, sincerely Annie King

I am deeply saddened to read about the passing of Mark, and I extend my heartfelt condolences to Faye and his family during this difficult time. Losing someone dear to you is never easy, and I want you to know that my thoughts, prayers, and sympathies are with you.

Mark was a remarkable individual, and his presence will be sorely missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him and working for him as I did. His kind heart, infectious laughter, and unwavering support touched and influenced the lives of me and many others. He had a way of brightening every room he entered and leaving a lasting impression on those around him. I will fondly remember his positive impact on my personal and professional life.

Our condolences to Mark´s family. So sorry for this loss. Rushville will not be the same without him!
